Kenai council enacts ordinance accepting donations to library for materials, wayfinding and programs
Summary
Council enacted Ordinance 3497 to accept a $1,000 Derek Kaufman Fund donation and $3,500 from Friends of the Kenai Library to buy digital materials, shelf wayfinding markers and program supplies for the Kenai Community Library.
The Kenai City Council enacted Ordinance 3497 on Jan. 7, 2026 to accept and appropriate donations to the Kenai Community Library.
Library Director Miss Wolf told the council the city received "$1,000 donation from the Derek Kaufman Fund" and an additional "$3,500 donation from the Friends of the Kenai Library." She said the funds will be folded into the library—material budget for additional digital materials, wayfinding (shelf markers) and programming supplies such as cooking program materials and a possible puzzle table.
Council members thanked the donors and the Friends group for ongoing support. The clerk called the roll; the council recorded five yes votes and the ordinance was enacted.
The ordinance is intended to cover material purchases and program support; the transcript did not specify specific vendors or purchase timelines.
