MWITIrm
The Arcadia Library Foundation, as part of its ongoing mission to support the Library's
goals and objectives, is donating $11,000 to the Library for materials and services.

The funds being donated will be used for the following purposes:
Chinese language materials: $5,000 to purchase new titles to expand this
heavily used and popular collection.
Tutor.com: $6,000 to go towards another year of Tutor.com's Live Homework
Help.
This is a positive fiscal impact to the Library as $11,000 can be spent on collections and
services not currently provided for in the current budget. This also provides a positive
service impact to the community, providing additional popular reading to the community
and a safe online tutoring service for students that cannot afford a private tutor. Both of
these services are in alignment with and further the Library's mission to provide full and
equal access to materials and services that meet the educational, informational, and
individual interests of a diverse community.
