This meets the County’s Strategic Objective of Quality of Place by supporting quality public amenities and recreational opportunities. CONSIDERATIONS: Each year the Collier County Public Library (CCPL) is awarded funds through the State Aid to Library Grants. The most recent grant was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on August 27, 2024 (Agenda Item #16.D.4). These grants require the CCPL to provide the public with free library services, including loaning library materials, providing reference and information services. Funds are advanced and therefore accrue interest. The State allows for the rollover of unexpended funds until the funds are fully exhausted. Interest earnings may be used at the discretion of the County and are reinvested back into the County’s Library System. New interest earned, for September 2024, requires recognition of carry-forward interest earnings in the amount of $1,057.09. Staff is seeking Board approval to appropriate this interest earned towards expenditures in support of library services and equipment.
