Total amount of grants: Generally equal to current net annual revenues (while maintaining a reserve approximately equal to one year's net revenues) Guidelines: In general, FOPL funds activities which are above and beyond those reasonably expected to be funded by the City of Oakland, such as normal operating costs including labor costs, books and materials. FOPL funds purchases of furniture and fixtures, activities such as community outreach programs (e.g., National Library Week and Children's Summer Reading) and special collections or reference material which are beneficial to the communities served, but outside the means of the Library's operating budget. FOPL provides support for special activities through the Library Director's fund and support for librarians through library school scholarships. The Board approves the grants. The Treasurer is responsible for distributing the grants to the Library in accordance with the memorandum of understanding between the Library and F.O.P.L., and the F.O.P.L. expenditure policy.
