It was also shared as a goal with City Council in August, 2014, as part of our annual presentation, “TPL: How we’ve Grown FY 13-14.” However, this goal has been on the backburner as other needs like Public Health & Safety have taken precedence. Funding was another challenge, but the Tulare Library Foundation has shared recently that they would like to utilize the Night at the Library in September, 2016, as a fundraising springboard for funding this project. Suggested Themes: Tulare Live Oak/Train Suggested Scope:  Signage – as currently there is nothing in the youth space delineating the Teen Space; Spanish Area; etc., etc.  More table spaces and/or additional computers; additional computers would come from our SJVLS Tech Reserve  Interactive wall manipulates  Interactive furniture pieces  Paneled Murals by a local muralist i.e. the mural painted on panels not on the wall itself to be installed  Bulletin Board material for insets – as right now the insets in the children’s areas are just painted and makes it challenging put up and take down themed displays Staff, Intern, and Timelines: Summer Intern will create draft with price costs, etc., under the direction of Library staff; Facilities; and Building ADA for review in August. It will then go to Library Advisory Board for final approval in August. The rendering and donation needs will be unveiled at the Tulare Library Foundation’s Night of the Library, Sept. 26th, from 5:30-8:30pm. No timeline has been established for installation, but if the fundraising goals are met in September, the process would begin in the Fall with possible installation in early 2017.
