DISCUSSION
On June 24, 2017, the American Library Association (ALA) opened the application period for
grants to develop public and school library programming that promotes computer science and
computational thinking among youth. The grant opportunity, announced in June 2017, is the
latest phase of the Libraries Ready to Code (RtC) initiative of ALA's Office for Information
Technology Policy (OITP), sponsored by Google.
Through a competitive request for proposals (RFP) process, a cohort of 25-50 libraries was
selected to receive grants of up to $25,000 to design and implement youth coding programs that
incorporate Ready to Code concepts. Through these programs, the library cohort will
collaboratively develop, pilot and rapidly iterate a "Ready to Code" toolkit containing a selection of
computer science resources for libraries and an implementation guide.
The Santa Ana Library submitted a proposal and on October 17, 2017 the City received
notification that the proposal was approved for funding of $25,000. The City has executed the
agreement, but additional documentation in the future may be needed. In order to comply with the

terms of the Grant, the City needs to execute certain certifications, assurances, and other
documents. Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the Executive Director of the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Department to execute those certifications, assurances and
other documents necessary to comply with the terms of the Grant and submit documents in a
timely manner.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #2 – Youth, Education and Recreation, Objective
#2 (Expand youth programming), Strategy A (Focus resources on quality youth engagement, civic
awareness, enrichment and educational programs (i.e. youth camping trips) and expand after-
school programs during out-of-school hours at the library and community centers.).
FISCAL IMPACT
The appropriation adjustment will recognize $25,000 in grant funding from the American Library
Association in the Public Library Grant revenue account (15211002-52040), and appropriate the
same to the Libraries Ready to Code expenditure account (15211151 -various) in Fiscal Year
2017/2018.

We provide youth driven programs that engage teens civically and

concept was developed from the basic educational precept that when

The Circle has enabled TeenSpace to become a place ormentorship,
where diverse community youth can transition into adulthood. The
model caters to the non-traditional learners that predominate in our
community: children, preadolescents and teens alike adapting to the
complex demands of homework and transitioning to adulthood while
dealing with a host of inner and external challenges.
The Circle ensures that youth are provided with: I. A safe space, 2.

The goal of this project is to provide young adults and children with
CT and CS training. Youth will learn CT/CS techniques, tools and
careers and how to use CT/CS as a tool to pursue their own goals, be
they academic /career goals, concerns with civic engagement/social
justice, or just to share ideas, interests and fun with others. This
program will train teen services staff members in CT skills that they
will incorporate into their programs to introduce youth to CT /CS.

Another recurring concern is attracting and engaging the skilled

community to contact community partners who can and are willing to
donate their time to serving community youth. As a result, we have
ongoing relationships with a variety of skilled people who can be
called upon to assist.
Finally. we are chronically short-staffed, so that implementing new
