BLIP REPORT RESOLUTION

Whereas, the Branch Library Improvement Program (BLIP) is arguably the most important undertaking of San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) at present; and

Whereas, the BLIP budget has increased from $106 million to $187 million, and eight libraries are under construction, with five libraries currently in the design stage; and

Whereas, 11 of the 24 libraries in the BLIP program have been finished and the timeline for completion of the entire project is not presently known;

Therefore, be it resolved that:

The Board of Supervisors Library Citizens Advisory Committee requests a comprehensive briefing at our October, 2009, meeting by SFPL on the activities of the BLIP program, including a Question & Answer (Q&A) period.
