SECTION 1: Project Description /Need 25 Points
Provide a narrative description of the library project. Does the community currently have a
public library? Has the community created a plan for public library service? Submit the pl2
for public library service with your application. What is the square footage of your propo.
project? Where will the project be located? If the project is for expansion of an existiir
public library, does construction increase the square footage of the facility by not less than
30 Is the project for construction of a public library that will be located as part of a
municipal or other community facility? (Attach extra pages as necessary.)
I The application is for an expansion project of a municipal public library located on a civic campus which is a
current city owned building requiring no agreement.
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE LIBRARY PROJECT:
The Kenai Community Library began in the hall of the Kenai Territorial School with a dedicated group of
volunteers and a small collection of donated books, In 1949, a Board of Trustees incorporated under the
provisions of Chapter 6 of the Session Laws of 1933. The library collection moved into the Civic Center in 1954.
The Civic Center accommodated the City Hall, the Court System, social and civic groups, a church and the
library. The library had been a volunteer organization existing on donations and fundraisers until 1968 when the
City of Kenai contributed a $3,500 grant. Following a request by the Board of Trustees, the City of Kenai
assumed full responsibility for the library in 1972. The City of Kenai has an appointed Library Commission with
seven members.
The first 5,000 square feet of the present building was constructed in 1976. In 1987, an approximately 5,000
square foot addition was constructed using both federal and state funds and doubling the size of the Library. Now
more than twenty years later, our much loved and greatly used Library is again in need of an expansion.
Today the library employs a full time director and seven employees. Volunteers continue to support the library by
giving their time and also through fundraising. The library also has a very active Friends group who have raised
money to support this project and to supplement the library budget.
The Kenai Community Library has a collection of almost 80,000 items. Centrally located off the Kenai Spur
Highway, the library is located on Main Street Loop near the Kenai City Hall, the Post Office and the Court
House, and serves the entire Peninsula community.
For the past 10 years, Library Commission members and Friends of the Library Board Members have been
working towards a Library expansion project. A 1996 survey brought to light that library patrons would like to
see a larger collection of children and young adult materials, more fiction, more audio and video tapes, special
programs for children and an expanded area for quiet study and research. In 1.996, Library Expansion was
presented to the voters as a bond proposal, which failed by less than 60 votes.
In November 2005, the Kenai City Council allocated $20,000 to commission a study to evaluate the existing
library facility and site for potential expansion.
In April of 2006, Architect Peter Klauder, of Klauder Company presented the results of the feasibility study
and his findings to the Kenai City Council, the Library Commission and members of the public. A population
study was conducted and the future population at 20 years growth was projected at 20, 600. The projected space
needs for that population out 20 years was calculated using the guidelines standard in this field (Dahlgren, Anders
C. Public library space needs: a planning outline/ 2009. Madison, Wisconsin.: Dept. of Public Instruction, 2009.)
FY11 Library Construction and Major Expansion Matching Grant
Issued February 2010 P age 12
That space needs worksheet and service targets worksheet resulted in a 20 year projected space requirement of
18,629 square feet. The library expansion as designed more than meets this need for a collection size that meets
an enhanced standard.
The City Council held two work sessions in 2006 to discuss library expansion.
The purpose of the first work session, held in June was to look at options for library expansion, receive
advice from the Library Commission. and decide upon action to be taken. It was primarily an information
gathering session and was open to the public. The architect presented three options for expansion of the
library:
o Option 1- single story addition to existing building
o Option 2- second story addition of existing building
o Option 3- raised level addition with parking below
The second work session, held in December explored five alternatives for library expansion and attached
cost estimates to each.
o Option 1 a single story addition to meet existing space needs with a cost estimate of $5,276,000.
o Option 2 An addition of a second floor to the current building at a cost of $5,989,200.
o Option 3 A raised addition to the current building with parking below at a cost estimate of
$6,072,000.
o Option 4 Purchase and Re -model State Office Building at a cost estimate of $11,843,000.
o Option 5 Construct a new library in a new location at a cost estimate of $10,552,400.
New construction proved to be the most costly alternative.
The pros and cons of each option were discussed and Option 1 became the preferred choice of the City
Council as the least costly alternative and one that maintains the library presence in the current location.
PLAN FOR LIBRARY SERVICE:
The Kenai Community Library created a Building Program in 2008 (updated for 2010, attached), has a
Technology Plan on file with the Alaska State Library (attached) and the Library Commission has a set of Goals
and Objectives (updated annually, attached.) In addition. the City of Kenai has a Comprehensive Plan (attached)
which speaks to a library expansion project.
SQUARE FOOTAGE:
The current library has approximately 9,580 square feet. The proposed addition will add approximately 10,000
square feet to the library on an empty city owned parcel located adjacent to the current building. This is an
increase in excess of 100% and complies with the regulation that requires an increase in square footage of the
facility by not less than 30 This construction will be an addition to the current library which is located on a
centrally located Kenai government campus that includes the Kenai City Hall, the Kenai Police and the Kenai
Fire Departments.
The current population of Kenai as set by the State of Alaska Department of Commerce Community and
Economic Development for 2009 has been determined to be 7,115. For a project serving a community with an
estimated population of more than 1,000; 2,000 square feet or 0.7 square feet per capita whichever is greater.
That formula requires a building size of less than 4,994 square feet. This project more than fulfills the state
requirements.
le library serves residents of the entire Kenai Peninsula and seasonal visitors from other states and around the
,Qorld. The local area covers more than 613.2 square miles. This figure was obtained by using the Alaska
Community Database for the communities of Kenai, Homer, Soldotna, Kasilof, Nikiski, Anchor Point.. Sterling,
Clam Gulch, Funny River, Kalifornsky and Ninilchik.
FY11 Library Construction and Major Expansion Matching Grant

Circulation figures for FY2010 year -to -date show that 53% of our total circulation can be attributed to
cardholders that live in the city of Kenai. The rest of our cardholders are predominantly other residents of the
Kenai Peninsula (Anchor Point, Clam Gulch, Cooper Landing, Homer, Kasilof, Moose Pass, Nikiski, Ninilchik,
Soldotna and Sterling.) Out -of -state and off Peninsula residents account for approximately 4% of our
cardholders. We show 16,601 currently registered borrowers in a database that purges each year anyone who h
not used their card in three years. We have projected the actual population in Kenai 20 years out to grow to 8,66"
with a non resident projected population of 12,000, giving us a total projected population 20 years out of 20,600.
The city of Kenai budgets to support the library program including salaries and benefits for staff, operating costs,
and expenditures for supplies and materials. The Alaska State Library sets minimum standards for libraries in
Alaska that include continuing education for the library director, staffing requirements, a materials budget,
interlibrary loan service, reference service and children's programs. Those standards include minimum hours of
regularly scheduled library service. For a community with a population of 3,000 10,000 the minimum hours are
40. The Kenai Community Library is open 59 hours a week from Labor Day to Memorial Day and 54 hours a
week during the summer, exceeding that requirement. Please see a copy of the Library Budget for the City of
Kenai for FY2010 and the proposed budget for FY2011 that show the required support (attached.)
The library provides the following materials:
books,
reference materials, genealogy resources, maps,
foreign language materials in Russian and Spanish,
magazines and newspapers,
movies in both DVD and VHS formats,
audio books on CD and cassette,
downloadable audio books and music,
music on CD and cassette,
puzzles, games, toys and fishing rods!
CD ROM,
government documents and microfilm,
equipment, such as projectors, screens, MP3 players and FM transmitters.
Items that are not available in -house can be obtained through Interlibrary Loan on request.
The library provides Internet access to the public at nine computer stations. In FY2009, we showed 21,362 uses
of these terminals. There are two private word processing stations available with printers, one private multi-
media station and one private dedicated foreign language computer installed with Rosetta Stone software for
language learning. The library catalog is accessible in the library from four public terminals and remotely via the
library website. Materials may be renewed and reserved directly by customers from the library website. The
library's website acts as a portal to statewide subscriptions to databases. The library website recorded 75,591
`hits' in FY2007 and is available in Russian and Spanish. The building provides wireless access for patrons who
are using their own laptops. The library has just begun a program for in -house lending of laptop computers to
reduce customer waiting periods and to allow users to use computers for longer periods.
The library subscribes to at least 10 newspapers. The local paper, The Peninsula Clarion, is also available on
microfilm back to 1970. A microfilm reader is available to the public from which they may print or e -mail
articles. Other newspaper subscriptions include the Sunday issues of the New York Times and the Seattle Tim
and The Wall Street Journal. Other Alaska newspapers are also available in the library.
FY11 Library Construction and Major Expansion Matching Grant Issued February 2010 age 1 4
The library provides a broad range of programming including regularly scheduled infant, toddler and after school
story times, family events and adult programming. The library has a weekly Russian story time for children and a
very popular new "tween" book club.
le proposed project is in compliance with applicable municipal, state, and federal law, including 42 U.S. C.
12101 -12213 (Americans with Disabilities Act).
The Kenai Community Library is the 2007 recipient of the Public Library Association's annual award for
Excellence in Small and /or Rural Public Library Service which is awarded to only one public library each year.
This is the second national award that the Kenai Community Library has received in recognition of their health
literacy outreach and programming. The U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science
selected the Kenai Community Library for its National Health Information Award for the state of Alaska in 2006.
The proposed project reflects the needs of the community and the anticipated users of the library. The City of
Kenai conducted a Community Opinion Poll in 2007. 67% of respondents either somewhat supported or strongly
supported a "project to double the size of the Kenai Public Library."
Resolution No. 2007 -43 A resolution of the council of the city of Kenai authorizing the city to issue general
obligation bonds in the principal amount of not to exceed $2,000,000 to finance the cost of planning, designing,
acquiring property for, and constructing library capital improvements; and to submit the question of the issuance
of such bonds to the qualified voters of the city at the October 2, 2007 city general election. (Unanimously passed
by Kenai City Council July 18, 2007)
1t the polls in October 2007, Kenai residents voted in the affi rmative to pass a bond issue to fund the library
oject.

SECTION 2: Project Impact 25 Points
Provide a narrative identifying the benefits to the community which will result from the
proposed project. Identify how the project will contribute to new or improved librar
services in your community. If the community does not have a public library, has a plan bc'
developed for public library service? Submit the plan with your application. Describe ho.,
the proposed project will meet the library needs of the community for at least 20 years.
Describe the effects of staffing, maintaining, and costs of operating the proposed facility.
(Attach extra pages as necessary.)
BENEFITS:
Alaskans rely on their public libraries as places to congregate, get information, enjoy access to the internet and to
borrow materials. Libraries educate and contribute towards less formal lifelong learning in the community.
Through programming, libraries bring Alaskans together to meet, leam and recreate. During the long and dark
winters, the library in Alaska serves as the community living room where all are welcome.
The library initiated a Visioning Process in 2003. The Library Director made a presentation to the Kenai City
Council, Library Commission and members of public.
Public observations and requests recorded during that session included:
Continue evening and weekend hours,
improve book and magazine selections,
create more space,
reduce size (height) of stacks,
acquire more comfortable chairs,
re- organize books,
create a community center,
teen center,
enclosed study rooms,
provide language classes,
provide better lighting,
more graphic novels,
better space for Alaskana,
create service areas,
better marketing,
incorporate law library from courthouse,
expand volunteer program,
provide extended hours for events,
include a cafe.
The proposed Kenai Community Library expansion effectively doubles the space of the library, while
maintaining the library's location in the heart of the city of Kenai. The project addresses nearly all of the requests
that were recorded during the citizen visioning session. Reduce, reuse and repurpose are three environmental
friendly principles followed in the proposed Library expansion. Shelving units discarded when the Court House
Law library closed will be reused in the expanded Kenai library.
NEW OR IMPROVED SERVICES:
FY11 Library Construction and Major Expansion Matching Grant Issued February 2010 Page 6
Benefits of this project to the local community include accessibility and compliance with The Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA.) Currently, space considerations have crowded the shelves and materials so that aisle
widths are too narrow, books are shelved too high and /or too low, some areas are inaccessible to library users in
heelchairs and only one restroom is handicapped accessible. Due to space constrictions there is currently a
onfusing arrangement of books in the collection. The new space will provide lower shelving and a more
reasoned, thoughtful and customer friendly arrangement of the collection.
The children's space is inadequate for programming. Currently we use an open space at the entrance to the
building. The ensuing noise disturbs virtually everyone trying to use the Library. Children's story hours often
move to a `conference' room that also serves as a storage area and holds our genealogy collection. This
inconveniences both the people trying to use that collection and the children and parents who must crowd in to
this cramped, dark space. A new, enlarged and separate children's room will provide a more pleasing and
functional space for children and their parents. The addition of a children's restroom with a baby changing table
will make the library more family friendly.
Library seating is often filled to capacity. There are simply not enough places for people to sit and enjoy the
building for reading or computer use. Often patrons are standing around waiting for computers to become
available or go outside the building to wait.
The staff areas are inadequate to hold all the returned materials waiting to be shelved. Book carts are placed in
the aisles, blocking access to the shelves and causing major inconvenience to those who are trying to locate
library material.
re current space offers no areas or rooms in the library for quiet study or rooms for small groups or conferences
to meet; these are frequently requested by patrons. Group projects assigned by teachers in the middle and high
schools necessitate space for small groups to meet, research and talk. Homeschoolers will also find these spaces
conducive to study and learning collaboratively. The expansion will not only allow us to have a separate
children's room, but also will include 4 separate study rooms and two meeting rooms. These meeting rooms will
allow the library to expand our adult programming and allow the public use of the room for meetings.
The library is a safe place where teens can gather. Presently, they do not have a dedicated space available to
them. The expansion project includes a dedicated teen space that will incorporate a collection of young adult
materials, technology and a gathering place.
Our project includes a large meeting space that can be converted into two spaces with the use of a room divider.
It also provides for a secure after hours entry so that meetings can be held when the library is closed, a vastly
improved service to our users.
The design of the current building does not facilitate patron contact with staff, making it possible for patrons to
leave the library without getting the help they need. This project is designed to make the library customer friendly
with staff located out on the floor to help people access the collection and computers.
The new facility will also take advantage of improved technology. We anticipate increasing the bandwidth for
internet service. There will not only be more "wired" computer stations, reducing wait times for computer users,
it also an in -house laptop loaning program that will double the number of computers available to users and
allow them the flexibility to use those throughout the building.
The proposed expansion supports the library's mission in the following ways:
FY11 Library Construction and Major Expansion Matching Grant
Issued February 2010 7
It provides "people" space for the enjoyment of current materials.
The redesigned main circulation desk allows for improved customer service and assistance.
It provides a designated teen area.
Multiple study rooms provide small groups with quiet study areas
The new conference room will allow for more library programs and public use. The room can be divided
so that two programs can run simultaneously and will have a separate entrance so that it can be used
during hours that the library is not open.
The children's area will double in size and includes a restroom for children. The children's librarian will
have an office in the children's room so that she will be more accessible to parents and children.
The library expansion will be fully ADA compliant for our customers with disabilities.
The library will have both a north and south entrance.
The expansion includes much needed display space.
Public computers will be located nearer the circulation desk and closer to staff who provide assistance
20 YEAR REQUIREMENT:
The projected space needs for the next 20 years were calculated using the guidelines standard in this field
(Dahlgren, Anders C. Public library space needs: a planning outline/ 2009. Madison, Wisconsin. Dept. of Public
Instruction, 2009) using a design population of 20,600. The library currently has 16,000 active registered card
holders. Their space needs worksheet and service targets worksheet resulted in a 20 year projected space
requirement of 18,629 square feet. The library expansion as designed more than meets this need. Collection size
will remain at enhanced and or excellent levels using the same standards base.
EFFECTS OF STAFFING, MAINTAINING, AND COSTS:
The City of Kenai funds the operating budget for the Kenai Community Library and has steadily increased that
budget as needed. An additional 22 hours of year round staff time has been added to the budget over the last three
years with 20 additional hours to handle the busy summer season. The current plan is designed to have minimal
budget impact on staffing. Technology has changed the way libraries do business. More of the routine procedures
and tasks have been streamlined or outsourced freeing up staff to work directly with customers. The design
includes two self- checkout stations that allow customers to avoid lines at the staff desk while also freeing up staff
to perform more efficiently. The city also budgets for routine and long -term maintenance of all its facilities.
Attached is the current fiscal year 2010 operating budget for the library. Also attached is the City Manager's
proposed fiscal year 2011 operating budget for the library. Voter authorization of general obligation bonds for
the construction of the expansion shows clear support for the continued local funding of library operations.
All of the registered library patrons would benefit from the library expansion 16,000 currently.) In addition,
citizens of Kenai who are not currently library users would benefit from the added services, i.e. a community
meeting room and more programming options. Visitors to the Kenai area would benefit as the library is often a
tourist destination and focal point for local information.

the necessary advertising and publishing of the invitation to bid. The number is low because
of the proximity of the project to the project manager's office.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2010 -09
Senate Bill 119 (Chapter 55 SLA 08) was signed into law on June 4, 2008. Section 2 of
the bill (AS 14.56.355) established a public library construction and major expansion
matching program. The new law was referred to the Department of Commerce,
Community, and Economic Development (DCCED) in 2009 to write regulations.
Subject to appropriation, the department may make grants under this program in an
amount not to exceed 50 percent of the total proposed grant project costs, per AS
14.56.355 (c).
The DCCED issued an application and guidelines earlier this month for the Library
Construction and Major Expansion Matching Grant Program with an application due date
of March 31, 2010. It is important to note that at this time the program has not been
funded. Subject to application review and appropriation, awards are expected to be
announced by July 1, 2010. I will be working to complete the application so that we are
positioned to receive a grant should the program be funded in this session.
The application requires a resolution from the City Council authorizing participation in
the grant program.

MEMO:
TO: Rick Koch, Terry Eubank

DATE: 9 March 2010
SUBJECT: Ordinance for Gates Online Opportunity Grant funds
The monies in this ordinance come from the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation ($1,300). The TechAtlas
inventory referred to below was done electronically and submitted to the Gates foundation. The money is
to be used only for public access computers and may not be used for staff only workstations. The
Foundation found that three of our public workstations were outdated. This grant is intended to help those
libraries that originally received Gates grants for computers to upgrade their equipment and software.
Please see the information below that came directly from the Foundation. Note that the library director,
Sal Mattero and Chris Cook attended the mandatory workshop in October 2008.
"Based on an analysis of the number of people living in poverty in your service area, and the data
returned from the TechAtlas inventory you completed in February, the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation
has determined that your library is eligible to participate in its Opportunity Online hardware grant program.
This program is designed to help libraries sustain technology services and strengthen their capacity to
conduct advocacy and secure local funding. The amount of funding that your library is eligible for in each
phase of the program is listed below. These amounts are based on the number of existing up -to -date
public access computers and the number of low- income individuals served by your library. The amount of
the grant is also based on a "total cost of ownership" model determined by the foundation which
incorporates the cost of supporting a public access computer in a public library over a period of four
years, including set -up, maintenance, and tech support."

Summary of Alaska Library Association Conference 2010
My conference began with a pre- conference session on Negotiating Skills with Pat Wagner.
This session presented two models for negotiation, one for staying focused and the other for
making decisions and dealing with more complex situations.
I greeted an auditorium filled with approximately 900 people on behalf of the Alaska Library
Association, appearing between the native dancers and the key speaker Sherman Alexie. Both
presentations were spectacular and I managed to get on and off the stage as fast as possible.
1-64
This year at conference I served as President through Saturday afternoon, when I finally stepped
down and relinquished the crown. The duties of President kept me very busy, introducing
speakers and greeting conference attendees at many functions.
As presiding officer I chaired a number of business meetings and dropped in on some sessions to
greet first time attendees. The State of the State luncheon included speakers Linda Thibodeau,
State Librarian; Clark Gruening, the Alaska Library Association lobbyist; and Diane Kaplan
from the Rasmuson Foundation. I chaired the annual membership and business meeting of the
Association.
The breakfast keynote speaker was Daniel Russell from Google who showed us some nifty
Google tricks and talked about how people use Google and improvements that have been made
and continue to be made.
