SAFE AND HEALTHY COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MINUTES – MAY 4, 2017
3.LITTLE LIBRARIES
Further to the Committee’s April 6, 2017 meeting, wherein additional information regarding
previous funding for the Little Libraries program was requested, members were circulated an
overview of the approval process followed by City staff when requests for Little Library funding
are received, as well as a listing of the locations of all City-funded Little Libraries in Kitchener.
In addition, Ms. D. Keelan advised staff do not track libraries located on private property or
funded privately; however, did advise a website exists with active links to all locations in both
Kitchener and Waterloo (www.llkw.ca).
Ms. Keelan commented on the extensive checklist used by staff for each application, including
ensuring the applicant is aware of all required next steps. In response to a question from the
Committee, Ms. Keelan noted only one known instance of vandalism of a Little Library location.
Ms. Keelan requested the Committee’s consideration of approving funds for staff use to
process Little Library requests, suggesting an amount of $2,000. would match the funds
approved by a previous Committee.
Ms. T. Smith requested if consideration should be given to approving additional funds which
staff could use to expedite other small-sum projects, similar to Little Libraries. Mr. M.
Hildebrand advised staff do not generally receive other types of small requests for funds;
therefore, he would suggest the monies may be better spent on additional Little Libraries. Mr.
Hildebrand suggested staff could report back to the Committee again once the funds have
been allotted and provide an update on exact numbers and locations.
On motion by Ms. J. Metzger –
it was resolved:
“That $2,000. from the Safe and Healthy Community Advisory Committee’s 2017 budget
be allocated to the Little Library in Parks and Open Spaces Program; and,
That any unallocated funds at year end remain available for disbursement until
allocated; and further,
That staff provide a summary report on the number of approvals and locations of Little
Libraries approved with this funding.”
