Gifford gave a presentation on various options for the <br />flooring and furniture for the Main Library as well as for furniture at the Manor Branch Library. <br />A discussion ensued regarding color options for the flooring. The Committee felt a darker color in <br />rooms that allow food, (specifically the Karp and Estudillo rooms) and the children’s library area <br />would be appropriate. Other concerns include whether the flooring options are allergen-free; the <br />need for furniture fabric that is easy to clean; adult area chair options with a seat height that <br />accommodates the elderly; and adequate light in the former periodical area. <br />There is a program called the California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) whereby suppliers offer <br />their products at a pre-negotiated price to state and local government agencies.
