OBJECTIVE: To accept and appropriate a $500 donation from the Hsi -Yang Wu Memorial Fund through the

CONSIDERATIONS: The Branch County Community Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to
promoting philanthropy, building endowments and other charitable funds, and connecting community resources.
The donor -advised fund grant was made possible through a donation by Collier County Residents Dr. C. C. and
Ann Wu.
In January of 2023, Collier County Public Library received a donation from the Hsi -Yang Wu Memorial Fund
through the Branch County Community Foundation Donor Advised Fund Grant Program in the amount of $500.
The donation is for the general support of the Collier County Public Library. This is the third year in a row the
Library has received this donation.
Library staff intends to utilize the funding to support the STEAM (Sensory Toys Interactive Manipulatives)
program that directly benefits the youth of Collier County and furthers early literacy initiatives. The STEAM
program integrates sensory play with the reading aloud of age -appropriate books. Library staff uses the sensory toys
during Storytimes to further stimulate and develop the senses while giving our young learners a fun time in the
library.

A critical component of exploring sensory toys while in the library involves allowing the children to feel the texture
of tactile toys as well as being drawn visually to the bright lights and vibrant colors. The program creates a multi -
sensory environment in our library which gives parents the ability to continue hands-on and/or occupational
therapy. Reinforcing therapies and soothing methods found in homes and schools. The STEAM program continues
to create a calm and motivational environment for children that enhances memory and tactile skills. The feedback
from our parents and youngest readers has been both extremely positive and enjoyable. One Thousand and Twenty -
Four (1,024) children have participated in the STEAM program since September 11, 2022.

Services Grant Fund (709) Project 33609. There is no requirement for a county match.
