Background and Discussion: The County Library’s 26 branch locations receive donations which are used to purchase books, materials, furniture, technology, and other items. This helps branches purchase items that will benefit the communities they serve and offsets General Fund expenses.

 

Expected Impact: Enabling Branch Managers to purchase items that will benefit their communities furthers the County’s Governance and Customer Service goals. Also, this enables the County Library to provide more to Harris County residents without depleting General Fund monies.

 

Alternative Options: Turn down donations and request additional funds from Harris County General Fund.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing

_ Public Health

_ Transportation

_ Flooding

_ Environment
