Board approves library space agreement for King's Community Action Organization in Kettleman City
Summary
Kings County approved an agreement allowing King's Community Action Organization to use county library space in Kettleman City for monthly family and children activities after KCAO vacated the local family resource center; the vote was 4‑0 with one absent.
Tanya Russell told the Kings County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that King's Community Action Organization (KCAO) requested use of the Kettleman City library space for monthly programs focused on children and families after KCAO vacated the county’s family resource center in June.
Russell said the library’s mission includes supporting lifelong learning and community resources, and recommended approving an agreement to allow KCAO to use the facilities once a month. The board moved to approve the agreement and the motion carried on a roll call vote with four votes in favor and one absence.
Why it matters: The agreement provides space for family support and program continuity in Kettleman City after the local resource center closed, using an existing county facility to support community activities.
What happens next: Library staff and KCAO will implement the monthly partnership; the board took no additional fiscal actions at the meeting.
