Independent Contractor: In carrying out its obligations, CONSULTANT shall always be acting as an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of CLIENT. CONSULTANT’s work does not include any supervision or direction of the work of other contractors, their employees or agents, and CONSULTANT’s presence shall in no way create any liability on behalf of CONSULTANT for failure of other contractors, their employees, or agents to perform their work properly or correctly. 22. Hazardous Substances: CLIENT agrees to advise CONSULTANT upon execution of this Agreement of any hazardous substances or any condition existing in, on or near the Project Site presenting a potential danger to human health, the environment or equipment. By virtue of entering into the Agreement or of providing services, CONSULTANT does not assume control of, or responsibility for, the Project site or the person in charge of the Project site or undertake responsibility for reporting to any federal, state, or local public agencies, any conditions at the Project site that may present a potential danger to the public, health, safety, or environment except where required of CONSULTANT by applicable law. In the event CONSULTANT encounters hazardous or toxic substances or contamination significantly beyond that originally represented by CLIENT, CONSULTANT may suspend or terminate the Agreement. CLIENT acknowledges that CONSULTANT has no responsibility as a generator, treater, storer, or disposer of hazardous or toxic substances found or identified at a site. Except to the extent that CONSULTANT has negligently caused such pollution or contamination, CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CONSULTANT, from any claim or liability, arising out of CONSULTANT's performance of services under the Agreement and made or brought against CONSULTANT for any actual or threatened environmental pollution or contamination if the fault (as defined in N.C.G.S. 22B-1(f)(7)) of CLIENT or its derivative parties (as defined in N.C.G.S. 22B-1(f)(3)) is a proximate cause of such claim or liability. 23. Choice of Law: The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of North Carolina, excluding only its conflicts of laws principles. 24. Construction Services: If construction administration and review services are requested by the CLIENT, CLIENT agrees that such administration, review, or interpretation of construction work or documents by CONSULTANT shall not relieve any contractor from liability in regard to its duty to comply with the applicable plans, specifications, and standards for the Project, and shall not give rise to a claim against CONSULTANT for contractor’s failure to perform in accordance with the applicable plans, specifications or standards. 25. Field Representative: If CONSULTANT provides field services or construction observation services, the presence of the CONSULTANT's field personnel will only be for the purpose of providing observation and field testing of specific aspects of the Project. Should a contractor be involved in the Project, the CONSULTANT's responsibility does not include the supervision or direction of the actual work of any contractor, its employees, or agents. All contractors should be so advised. Contractors should also be informed that neither the presence of the CONSULTANT's field representative nor the observation and testing by the CONSULTANT shall excuse contractor in any way for defects in contractor's work. It is agreed that the CONSULTANT will not be responsible for job or site safety on the Project and that the CONSULTANT does not have the right to stop the work of any contractor. 26. Submittals: CONSULTANT’s review of shop drawings and other submittals is to determine conformity with the design concept only. Review of shop drawings and submittals does not include means, methods, techniques, or procedures of construction, including but not limited to, safety requirements.

This section contains relevant population data for our overall service area. This data provides context for the Title VI Nondiscrimination Program and will be used to ensure nondiscrimination in public outreach and delivery of our programs and services. 8.1 RACE AND ETHNICITY The following table was completed using data from Census Table DP05, ACS Demographics and Housing Estimates. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 98 23 8.2 AGE & SEX The following table was completed using data from Census Table S0101, Age Groups and Sex. 8.3 Disability The following table was completed using data from Census Table S1810, Disability Characteristics: HCBOC 021725 Pg. 99 24 8.4 POVERTY The following table was completed using data from Census Table S1701, Poverty Status in the Past 12 Months: HCBOC 021725 Pg. 100 25 8.5 Household Income The following table was completed using data from Census Table S1901, Income in the Past 12 Months (In 2022 Inflation-Adjusted Dollars): 8.6 LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY POPULATIONS SEE APPENDIX D 8.7 POPULATION LOCATIONS Federal-aid recipients are required to identify the characteristics and locations of populations they serve, particularly by race/ethnicity, poverty and limited English proficiency. We will document this narratively or through maps that overlay boundaries and demographic features on specific communities, and provide this information to NCDOT, upon request. 9 TITLE VI EQUITY ANALYSES (AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ASSESSMENTS) Title VI Equity Analyses. In accordance with FTA Circular 4702.1B, a Title VI equity analysis will be conducted whenever we construct a facility, such as a vehicle storage facility, maintenance facility, or operation center. The equity analysis will be conducted during the planning stage, with regard to the location of the facility, to determine if the project could result in a disparate impact to minority communities based on race, color or national origin. Accordingly, we will look at various alternatives before selecting a site for the facility. Project-specific demographic data on potentially affected communities and their involvement in decision-making activities will be documented. Title VI Equity Analyses will remain on file indefinitely, and copies will be provided to NCDOT, upon request, during compliance reviews or complaint investigations. Environmental Justice Analyses. As required by FTA C 4703.1, environmental justice (EJ) analyses will be conducted to determine if our programs, policies, or activities will result in disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects on minority populations and low-income HCBOC 021725 Pg. 101 26 populations. EJ applies to our projects, such as when we construct or modify a facility, and our policies, such as when there will be a change in service, amenities or fares. Thus, we will look at various alternatives and seek input from potentially affected communities before making a final decision. Demographic data will be collected to document their involvement in the decision-making process. EJ analyses will remain on file indefinitely, and copies will be provided to NCDOT, upon request, during compliance reviews or complaint investigations. 10 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT 10.1 INTRODUCTION Effective public involvement is a key element in addressing Title VI in decision-making. This Public Participation Plan describes how Harnett Area Rural Transit System (HARTS) will disseminate vital agency information and engage the public. We will seek out and consider the input and needs have interested parties and groups traditionally underserved by transportation systems who may face challenges accessing our services, such as minority and limited English proficient (LEP) persons . Underlying these efforts is our commitment to determining the most effective outreach methods for a given project or population. General public involvement practices will include:  Expanding traditional outreach methods. Think outside the box: Go to hair salons, barbershops, street fairs, etc.  Providing for early, frequent and continuous engagement by the public.  Use of social media and other resources as a way to gain public involvement.  Coordinating with community- and faith-based organizations such as the Hispanic Liaison, educational institutions, and other entities to implement public engagement strategies that reach out specifically to members of affected minority and/or LEP communities.  Providing opportunities for public participation through means other than written communication, such as personal interviews or use of audio or video recording devices to capture oral comments.  Considering radio, television, or newspaper ads on stations and in publications that serve LEP populations. Outreach to LEP persons could also include audio programming available on podcasts . 10.2 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Passengers and other interested persons will be informed of their rights under Title VI and related authorities with regard to our program. The primary means of achieving this will be posting and disseminating the policy statement and notice as stipulated in Sections 3.0 and 4.0, respectively. Additional measures may include verbally announcing our obligations and the public’s rights at meetings, placing flyers at places frequented by targeted populations, and an equal opportunity tag-on at the end of radio announcements. The method of notification will be determined through an initial screening of the area. 10.3 DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION Information on Title VI and other programs will be crafted and disseminated to employees, contractors and sub recipients, stakeholders, and the general public. Public dissemination efforts may vary depending on factors present, but will generally include: posting public statements setting forth our nondiscrimination policy in eye-catching designs and locations; placing brochures in public places, such as government offices, transit facilities, and libraries; having nondiscrimination language within contracts; including nondiscrimination notices in meeting announcements and handouts; and displaying our Notice of Nondiscrimination at all our public meetings. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 102 27 At a minimum, nondiscrimination information will be disseminated on our website and on posters in conspicuous areas at our office(s). Project-related information and our most current Title VI-related information will be maintained online. 10.4 MEETINGS AND OUTREACH There is no one-size-fits-all approach to public involvement. A variety of comprehensive and targeted public participation methods will be used to facilitate meaningful public involvement. Methods for engaging stakeholders and target audiences, including traditionally underserved and excluded populations (i.e., minorities, youth, low-income, the disabled, etc.) will include the following: Public Relations and Outreach Public relations and outreach (PRO) strategies aim to conduct well-planned, inclusive and meaningful public participation events that foster good relations and mutual trust through shared decision-making with the communities we serve.  We will seek out and facilitate the involvement of those potentially affected.  Public events will aim to be collaborative, fun, and educational for all, rather than confrontational and prescriptive.  Media plans will typically involve multiple channels of communication like mailings, radio, TV, and newspaper ads.  Abstract objectives will be avoided in meeting announcements. Specific “attention -grabbing” reasons to attend will be used, such as “Help us figure out how to relieve congestion on [corridor name]” or “How much should it cost to ride the bus? Let us know on [date].”  Efforts will be made to show how the input of participants can, or did, influence final decisions.  We will do our best to form decision-making committees that look like and relate to the populations we serve.  We will seek out and identify community contacts and partner with local community- and faith-based organizations that can represent, and help us disseminate information to, target constituencies.  Demographic data will be requested during public meetin gs, surveys, and from community contacts and committee members. Public Meetings “Public meeting” refers to any meeting open to the public, such as hearings, charrettes, open house and board meetings.  Public meetings will be conducted at times, locations, and facilities that are convenient and accessible.  Meeting materials will be available in a variety of predetermined formats to serve diverse audiences.  An assortment of advertising means may be employed to inform the community of public meetings.  Assistance to persons with disabilities or limited English proficiency will be provided, as required. Small Group Meetings A small group meeting is a targeted measure where a meeting is held with a specific group, usually at their request or consent. These are often closed meetings, as they will typically occur on private property at the owner’s request.  If it is determined that a targeted group has not been afforded adequate opportunities to participate, the group will be contacted to inquire about possible participation methods, including a group meeting with them individually.  Unless unusual circumstances or safety concerns exist, hold the meeting at a location of the target group’s choosing.  Share facilitation duties or relinquish them to members of the target group. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 103 28  Small group discussion formats may be integrated into larger group public meetings and workshops. When this occurs, the smaller groups will be as diverse as the participants in the room. Community Surveying  Opinion surveys will occasionally be used to obtain input from targeted groups or the general public on their transportation needs, the quality or costs of our services, and feedback on our public outreach efforts.  Surveys may be conducted via telephone, door-to-door canvassing, at community fairs, by placing drop boxes in ideal locations, or with assistance from other local agencies like social services.  Surveys will be translated into languages other than English, when appropriate . 10.5 LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons are individuals for whom English is not their primary language and who have a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English. These individuals reported to the U.S. Census Bureau that they speak English less than very well. To comply with USDOT’s LEP Policy Guidance and Executive Order 13166, this section of our Title VI Plan outlines the steps we will take to ensure meaningful access by LEP persons to all benefits, services and information provided under our programs and activities. A four-factor analysis was conducted to determine the LEP language groups present in our planning area and the specific language services that are needed. Four Factor Analysis This Four Factor Analysis is an individualized assessment that balances the following four factors: (1) The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered by a program, activity, or service of the recipient or grantee; (2) The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with the program; (3) The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by the recipient to people’s lives; and (4) The resources available to the recipient and costs. Factor #1: The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered by the program, activity, or service of the recipient. LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN As a result of the above four factor analysis, a Language Assistance Plan (Plan) was required. This Plan represents our commitment to ensuring nondiscrimination and meaningful access by persons who are Limited English Proficient (LEP). This Plan also details the mechanisms we will use to reach LEP persons and the language assistance services we provide. We will provide services to any person, upon request. If an individual is LEP, we will work with the individual to ensure they receive the needed transportation service. Our employees will be routinely oriented on the principles and practices of Title VI and LEP to ensure fairness in the administration of this Plan. As a result of the above four factor analysis, a Language Assistance Plan (LAP) was not required. However, reasonable attempts will be made to accommodate any persons encountered who require written translation or oral interpretation services. Language Assistance Measures The following general language assistance measures are reasonable and achievable for our organization at this time:  Translating public notices posted in the local paper and at stations, stops, and in vehicles into any languages that meet the safe harbor threshold in Factor 1. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 104 29  Vital documents—such as brochures with service times and routes—are translated into Name languages across the entire service area, and available in our facilities, doctor’s offices and shopping centers.  Making a concerted effort to inform LEP persons of available language assistance via staff, broadcast media, relationship-building with organizations, and our website.  Posting vital bulletin board information and disseminating community surveys in various languages.  Providing translation and interpretive services when appropriate (upon request or predetermined) at meetings.  Determining how best to take public involvement to LEP groups directly, including through small group meetings.  Language line translation services at our call center.  Where possible, utilizing or hiring staff who speak a language other than English and can provide competent language assistance. o Note: We will not ask community-based organizations (CBO) to provide, or serve as, interpreters at our meetings. Relying upon CBOs in that capacity could raise ethical concerns. If a CBO decides (on its own) to translate any materials for its constituents, or bring interpreters it trusts to our meetings, we will not object. That is their right.  Using language identification flashcards to determine appropriate services.  Establishing a process to obtain feedback on our language assistance measures. Specific Measures by Language Group – NOTE: THIS SECTION DOES NOT HAVE TO BE COMPLETED IF THE SAFE HARBOR THRESHOLD IS NOT MET FOR ANY LANGUAGE [For this part, specify the measures you have determined are most effective to involve each language group that met the safe harbor thresholds in Factor #1 of the Four Factor Analysis beyond the general list directly above. Delete this whole part if no language groups met the thresholds.]  Spanish:  Vietnamese:  Russian… Written Translation and Oral Interpretation Vital documents will be translated for each eligible LEP language group in our service area that constitutes 5% or 1,000, whichever is less, of the population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered. Translated materials will be placed online and in appropriate public (or private) places accessible to LEP persons. The safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only, and do not affect the requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP individuals through competent oral interpreters where oral language services are needed and are reasonable. When appropriate, translation of any document will be communicated orally in the appropriate language. In the event that the 5% trigger is reached for a LEP language group that is fewer than 50 persons, written notice will be provided in the primary language of that group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of vital written materials, free of cost. The most effective method of notice, which could be an ad in the local newspaper or other publication, a radio commercial, or door hangers, will be determined in consideration of the circumstances on the ground and in coordination with LEP community contacts . Staff Support for Language Assistance  Agency staff (including call center staff) will be provided a list of referral resources that can assist LEP persons with written translation and oral interpretation, including the Title VI Officer and any outside consultant contracted to provide language services. This list will be updated as needed to remain current.  All main offices and vehicles will have on hand a supply of language assistance flashcards and materials translated into the languages of the largest LEP language groups. When encountered by an HCBOC 021725 Pg. 105 30 LEP person, staff (including drivers) should present the individual with and speak flashcard and let them choose the language. Do not assume you know their preferred language. Drivers are permitted to seek volunteer assistance from other passengers before contacting a referral resource. Document the encounter and report it to the Title VI Coordinator.  Training: All employees will be instructed on our procedures for providing timely and reasonable assistance to LEP persons. New employee orientation will also explain these procedures to new hires. Staff routinely encountering LEP persons by telephone or in person will receive annual refresher training. All other employees will be reminded of LEP through annual Title VI program acknowledgements (Section 5.0) and basic Title VI trainings (Section 11.0). Project-Specific LEP Outreach A project-specific four factor analysis will be conducted for any project or outreach event limited to a specific geographical area (i.e., the project study area or outreach area, respectively). Language assistance will be provided in accordance with the measures already outlined, including translating written materials for each LEP language group that is 5% or 1,000, whichever is less, of the project or outreach area population. Monitoring and Updating the LAP Monitoring of daily interactions with LEP persons will be continuous, thus language assistance techniques may be refined at any time. This Plan will be periodically reviewed—at least annually—to determine if our assistance measures and staff training are working. Resource availability and feedback from agency staff and the general public will be factors in the evaluation and any proposed updates. Among other practices, this process will include working with LEP community contacts to determine if our employees are responding appropriately to requests made with limited English or in languages other than English, and observing how agency staff responds to requests, including observing drivers or surveying riders. To the best of our ability, we will attempt to never eliminate a successful existing LEP service. Significant LEP program revisions will be approved or adopted by our board or designated official and dated accordingly. LEP data and procedures will be reviewed and updated at least once every three years . 10.6 DEMOGRAPHIC REQUEST The following form was used to collect required data on Key Community Contacts and nonelected committee members.  Harnett Area Rural Transit System (HARTS) is required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related authorities to record demographic information on members of its boards and committees.

This innovative, truck- style vehicle will provide access to books, digital resources, internet connectivity, mobile printing, and educational programming, including early literacy and STEAM activities. With a population of over 53,000 residents living outside a 10-mile radius of a library branch, many of whom face transportation and digital access barriers, the bookmobile will promote literacy, digital inclusion, and lifelong learning. Stops will target areas identified through data analysis and community partnerships, focusing on low-income families, senior citizens, and geographically isolated communities. The bookmobile’s flexible design and programming capabilities will support summer reading initiatives, digital literacy for seniors, and outreach to rural areas, ensuring equitable access to library services. By providing scalable, cost -effective, and impactful solutions, the project addresses critical community needs while supporting the library’s mission to improve quality of life through robust programming, resources, and connections. 4.LIBRARY USERS AND NEED a.Potential Users The proposed bookmobile project will primarily benefit underserved communities across Harnett County, a region that is largely rural and suburban. While the Harnett County Public Library System includes six full-service branches and two limited-capacity pop-up libraries, geographic and socioeconomic challenges limit access to these facilities for many residents. A significant portion of the county’s population, 53,407 individuals (37%), live more than 10 miles away from the nearest library. These residents are concentrated in the southwestern and northern parts of the county, including the townships of Barbecue, Johnsonville, Anderson Creek, Buckhorn, and Hectors Creek. Furthermore, only one full-service library is located on the western side of the county, leaving rural communities in these areas with limited access to critical library services. This project will specifically target key underserved groups. Low-income and single-parent families, which represent 13.7% and 29% of households, respectively, face financial and transportation barriers that make accessing library resources difficult. Many of these households include young families with children under the age of 13, who would greatly benefit from literacy programs, educational resources, and access to technology. Senior citizens, who make up 14.3% of the population, also face significant challenges such as social isolation and transportation barriers. By bringing library resources directly to rural areas, the bookmobile will provide these residents with access to large-print books, digital literacy training, and other services that promote community engagement and lifelong learning. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 117 Harnett Bookmobile Page 2 | 10 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library Additionally, many parts of Harnett County lack reliable internet access, which is essential for education, job applications, and managing healthcare. The bookmobile will help bridge this digital divide by offering mobile Wi-Fi, digital resources, and technology training. These services are particularly crucial given the county’s population growth of 24% between 2010 and 2022, which has increased the demand for library services. According to Gale Analytics, the highest concentration of non-library users in Harnett County is found in areas with limited access to resources, reinforcing the need for targeted outreach. b. Need Statement Harnett County residents face significant barriers to accessing library materials, technology, internet, and programming due to limited public transportation and concentrated community resources. Public transportation in the county is sparse, leaving many residents, particularly those in rural and underserved areas such as Barbecue, Johnsonville, Anderson Creek, Buckhorn, and Hectors Creek, unable to access library branches or community centers. Approximately 66,500 individuals, or 47% of the county’s population, live in these underserved areas. Limited broadband access in the county compounds these issues, with 13% of households lacking internet access and 8% lacking a device capable of connecting to the internet, according to NCDIT. This lack of connectivity hinders access to educational, employment, and health-related resources, deepening existing inequities. The need for a mobile library was identified through extensive community engagement during the development of the library's 2024-2027 strategic plan. A community survey revealed strong demand for print books, Wi-Fi access, and programming, with 98.6% of respondents who regularly attend library programs finding them valuable. One -on-one interviews emphasized the need for STEAM and STEM programming, inclusivity in library services, and expanded outreach to rural areas. Focus group participants highlighted specific challenges faced by low - income families, the lack of books in the home, and the absence of reliable public transportation, with many recommending a bookmobile as a solution to improve accessibility. Participants also stressed the importance of addressing broadband gaps, noting how the lack of internet access affects residents’ ability to access information and services. Broadband access and educational outcomes are critical issues in Harnett County. Data from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) shows that 57% of Harnett County School students scored “not proficient” on EOG and EOC assessments in 2023 -2024, 11% lower than the state average. By delivering technology, books, and programming directly to underserved areas, the bookmobile will help address these educational disparities, offering resources like homework help, test preparation software, and STEAM workshops. This aligns with North Carolina’s broader goals to close the digital divide and invest in digital equity, supporting residents' ability to succeed in an increasingly digital world. The proposed bookmobile also aligns with the library’s strategic direction to “create community connections” and provide “robust library programming, collections, and technologies that contribute to a higher quality of life.” By reaching rural and underserved areas, the bookmobile HCBOC 021725 Pg. 118 Harnett Bookmobile Page 3 | 10 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library will expand equitable access to library services, empowering these residents with critical resources and opportunities. This project will not only enhance educational outcomes but also improve digital inclusion, foster economic growth, and strengthen community connections, ensuring that all Harnett County residents have the tools they need to thrive. The bookmobile project will focus on underserved residents in Johnsonville, Barbecue, Anderson Creek, Buckhorn, and Hectors Creek, particularly areas of high non-patron density that are more than 5 miles from a full-size library branch. (Density map generated by Gale Analytics) 5.PROJECT DESCRIPTION a.Solution The Harnett County Public Library will purchase and operate a state-of-the-art bookmobile. This truck-style vehicle will be fully equipped with mobile and static bookshelves, a wheelchair lift, laptops, a mobile printer, 5G internet, and large-print books to ensure accessibility and inclusion for all residents. Designed to deliver essential library services directly to geographically isolated and underserved communities, the bookmobile will promote literacy, learning, and digital inclusion. The bookmobile will serve as a mobile library, providing books, internet access, mobile printing, and educational programming during regular business hours, as well as evenings and weekends. It will make approximately 8 stops weekly, targeting underserved areas, particularly in the underserved southwestern and northern parts of the county. The bookmobile will circulate a collection of about 1,300 items, including large-print materials, multilingual items, and educational materials for children. It will also circulate 10 laptops, bridging the digital divide by enabling access to online learning, job applications, and other digital resources. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 119 Harnett Bookmobile Page 4 | 10 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library Programming will include early literacy initiatives such as storytime, STEAM activities, and take- home STEAM kits to support educational growth among children. The bookmobile will also promote digital literacy for seniors by providing hands-on training and access to technology. These efforts aim to improve literacy rates for children and enhance digital skills for older adults, addressing two critical community needs. Monthly programming is expected to serve around 60-100 attendees, creating regular opportunities for community engagement and enrichment. To ensure the bookmobile has a meaningful impact, the library will partner with organizations such as Partnership for Children, the YMCA, the Harnett County School System, and other municipal and county agencies to determine high-impact stops. Factors such as the availability of parking, distance from full-service library branches, concentration of underserved users, foot traffic, and proximity to residential neighborhoods or areas of community interest (e.g., schools, churches, and community centers) will guide route planning. By reaching approximately 66,500 residents—47% of the county’s population—who currently lack equitable access to library services, the bookmobile will transform the delivery of library resources in Harnett County. Through its collection, technology, and programming, the bookmobile will empower residents with critical tools for education, technology, and personal growth. Over time, this project is expected to result in measurable improvements in literacy, digital inclusion, and overall quality of life, while fostering stronger community connections and addressing systemic inequities.

HCBOC 021725 Pg. 120 Harnett Bookmobile Page 5 | 10 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library b.Rationale The bookmobile was selected as the most effective solution to address the lack of library services in underserved areas of Harnett County due to its cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and ability to directly reach residents in need. Constructing additional library branches, while a more permanent solution, would require significant financial investment and a lengthy timeline to implement. For example, the estimated cost of opening a new library branch sufficient to serve residents in the western part of the county is approximately $2.3 million. In contrast, the total cost to launch a fully equipped bookmobile is estimated at $450,000 —a fraction of the cost—making it a far more economical option. Additionally, building new branches may not guarantee improved access for all underserved areas, especially given the rural and dispersed population of Harnett County. Other alternatives were also considered but deemed insufficient. Self -serve library lending kiosks, for instance, could support material lending but would lack the critical benefits of staff interaction, educational programming, and access to technology. Relying on community centers or schools to host library services is also impractical, as these facilities are limited in number, have restricted hours, and often lack the infrastructure necessary for robust library collections, technology, and programming. The bookmobile offers a flexible and scalable approach to addressing these gap s. It can deliver essential library services—including educational programming, digital literacy support, and access to books and technology—directly to rural and underserved areas, addressing critical barriers such as geographic isolation, lack of public transportation, and mobility issues. This is particularly important for the 13.7% of residents living in poverty, low-income families, and the 14.3% of senior citizens in the county who often rely on free library services. The bookmobile’s mobility allows it to adjust routes and schedules based on community needs, ensuring equitable service distribution and the ability to respond quickly to population growth or shifting demand. Moreover, the bookmobile’s design allows for scalability as community needs evo lve. Services can be expanded by increasing the number of stops, extending operating hours, or growing its collection to include additional materials such as large -print and multilingual books. The bookmobile can also provide vital digital access, aligning with North Carolina’s statewide goals for broadband access and digital equity. Equipped with wireless internet and laptops, the bookmobile directly addresses the digital divide in areas with limited or no broadband access, enabling residents to engage in online learning, apply for jobs, and access essential information. The lower cost and greater flexibility of a bookmobile ensure that Harnett County residents can access high-quality library services in a way that is sustainable, impactful, and equitable. c.Costs The primary cost for this project is the purchase of a truck-style bookmobile, priced at $162,765, which includes a range of essential features to support the delivery of library services. These features include: HCBOC 021725 Pg. 121 Harnett Bookmobile Page 6 | 10 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library a radio/PA system for public announcements, an awning for outdoor programming, a personalized full-wrap vinyl exterior to promote visibility and branding, an aluminum shelving system to house books and other materials a wheelchair lift to ensure accessibility for all users, a 5G wireless connectivity package to provide internet access at every stop , and safety equipment to support the well-being of staff and patrons. In addition to the bookmobile itself, a leveling and stabilizing system will be purchased for $8,355. This system ensures that the vehicle can safely and effectively operate in uneven or rural terrain, allowing the library to serve a wide range of locations without concern for stability. To enhance security and protect the investment in the bookmobile and its resources, an audible alarm system with magnetic door sensors will be installed at a cost of $3,845. This system will safeguard the vehicle, its technology, and its collection while parked, ensuring the sustainabilit y of the program. Each of these costs directly supports the implementation of the bookmobile project by ensuring that it is fully equipped, accessible, secure, and capable of meeting the diverse needs of the community. The investment in these necessary components will enable the bookmobile to effectively deliver literacy, technology, and programming resources to the underserved populations of Harnett County, supporting the library’s mission to promote learning, digital inclusion, and equitable access to resources. d.Sustainability The Harnett County Capital Improvement Program includes earmarked funding for the bookmobile, covering both personnel and operational costs. Additionally, the Harnett County Commissioners have approved ongoing funding in the county budget to sustain the program beyond the grant period. This funding allocation accounts for all aspects of the bookmobile's operation, including salaries for staff office and programming supplies technology replacement (printer and computers every 4 years) internet service It also covers essential vehicle-related expenses, such as fuel parts routine maintenance cleaning HCBOC 021725 Pg. 122 Harnett Bookmobile Page 7 | 10 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library By proactively including these sustainability items in the county budget, the library ensures that the bookmobile remains fully operational and capable of meeting community needs well into the future. Regular assessments will guide future funding needs, allowing for adjustments as community demand grows or equipment ages out. With this structured fina ncial support in place, the bookmobile will continue to deliver impactful services to underserved areas of Harnett County for years to come. e. Partners The Harnett County Public Library will collaborate with several key partners to ensure the success and maximum impact of the bookmobile project. The Partnership for Children, the Saleeby Family YMCA, the Harnett County School System, and other county and municipal agencies will play an integral role in determining the bookmobile’s stops and ensuring services are targeted to the communities with the greatest need.  The Partnership for Children will contribute its expertise in early childhood education by helping identify underserved areas with a high concentration of young families and children. This collaboration will also enhance the bookmobile’s ability to deliver early literacy programs, and distribute educational resources that support the developmental needs of children under five.  The Saleeby Family YMCA will play a pivotal role in expanding the reach of the bookmobile’s services to families and individuals who participate in YMCA programs. The YMCA will assist in identifying high-traffic community locations for bookmobile stops and will collaborate on hosting literacy events, STEAM activities, and health and wellness-related programming. This partnership will enhance the bookmobile’s impact by integrating educational services with the YMCA’s strong community engagement initiatives.  The Harnett County School System will support the project by sharing data on student populations, identifying schools and neighborhoods with the highest need for access to books and digital tools, and facilitating connections with families. The bookmobile will visit schools to complement existing educational efforts by providing students with access to books, programming, and technology, which will help address the county’s below-average proficiency rates in End-of-Grade (EOG) and End-of-Course (EOC) assessments.  County and municipal agencies will assist in identifying other high -priority areas for bookmobile stops, such as senior centers, community hubs, and rural neighborhoods. These agencies will also help evaluate stop viability, including factors like parking, accessibility, and potential foot traffic, ensuring the bookmobile operates efficiently an d effectively. The project will benefit these partners by extending their reach and impact within the community. For the Partnership for Children, the bookmobile provides an avenue to directly connect with families in rural areas, advancing its mission to promote early literacy and HCBOC 021725 Pg. 123 Harnett Bookmobile Page 8 | 10 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library childhood development. The Saleeby Family YMCA will see increased opportunities to support family engagement and lifelong learning through collaborative programs with the bookmobile. The Harnett County School System will benefit from enhanced access to library resources that support educational outcomes and provide extracurricular learning opportunities for students. County and municipal agencies will see a positive impact on the communities they serve, as the bookmobile addresses critical issues like literacy, digital inclusion, and social connectivity. By working together, these partnerships will ensure that the bookmobile becomes a transformative resource, improving the quality of life for residents across Harnett County while amplifying the missions and goals of each partnering organization. 6.EVALUATION a.Outcomes/Outputs The bookmobile project is designed to address the critical need s of underserved populations in Harnett County, and its outcomes are anticipated to have a transformative impact on the community. Key benefits include providing low-income families with access to free educational materials, supporting children in improving their reading proficiency, and helping seniors enhance their digital literacy skills. By delivering books, technology, and programming directly to rural and isolated areas, the bookmobile will eliminate access barriers and promote lifelong learning for all residents. These outcomes align with Harnett County Government’s strategic goal of creating economic opportunities for residents by fostering a better-educated population. By increasing literacy and digital competency, the project will contribute to long-term community development and economic resilience. The bookmobile aims to register at least 400 new library cards in its first year, focusing on underserved areas such as Barbecue, Johnsonville, Anderson Creek, Buckhorn, and Hectors Creek. This initiative will significantly increase library awareness and engagement in communities that have traditionally lacked access to library services. Additionally, the project is expected to lead to a 3% increase in overall library circulation, serve at least 500 users per month by the end of the first year, and increase participation in summer reading programs by 5%. A 3% increase in program offerings (about 3-4 programs a month) is anticipated. The variety of programming offered—such as early literacy events, STEAM activities, take-home kits, and digital literacy workshops—will further expand the library’s impact. These activities will encourage children’s engagement with science and technology, foster family involvement in learning, and help close the digital divide for seniors and adults. By focusing on areas with the greatest need, the bookmobile will reduce geographic isolation, promote literacy, and contribute to higher educational attainment across the county. These measurable outcomes ensure the project’s success in addressing the community’s critical needs. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 124 Harnett Bookmobile Page 9 | 10 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library b.Evaluation The evaluation of the bookmobile project’s outcomes will be comprehensive, using both quantitative and qualitative methods to ensure success and guide continuous improvement. Several key metrics will be tracked to measure the impact of the project, including door counts at bookmobile stops, the number of new library cards issued, circulation statistics, technology use (such as laptops and mobile printing), and program counts and att endance. These statistics will be monitored monthly and compared to the baseline data from underserved areas to measure growth and engagement. Patron surveys will also play a vital role in evaluating the bookmobile’s effectiveness. Surveys will be distributed at regular intervals to gather feedback on the viability of stops and to identify additional community needs. This feedback will help refine routes, programming, and services to better serve the community. Additionally, the library will utilize Project Outcome, a toolkit designed to help libraries understand and share the impact of essential library services , to assess the impact of specific programs, such as early literacy events for children and digital literacy workshops for seniors. By leveraging this nationally recognized evaluation tool, the library will collect meaningful data on program outcomes, including improvements in children’s readiness to read and seniors’ ability to navigate digital tools. These evaluations will occur after each program, with aggregated data analyzed quarterly to identify trends and areas for improvement. The library will continuously use these evaluation methods to ensure the bookmobile is meeting its goals of promoting literacy, learning, and digital inclusion. The data collected will also be used to report on progress, justify future funding, and adapt services to the changing needs of the community. By combining statistical analysis, patron feedb ack, and program- specific evaluation tools, the library will maintain a clear understanding of the bookmobile’s impact and ensure the long-term success of the project.

Building on the success of RFID at the Main Library, this project will include the installation of RFID-enabled workstations, self-checkout machines, security gates, and software, as well as tagging approximately 98,000 print items and 9,000 media items. RFID will streamline checkout processes, improve catalog accuracy, reduce material loss, and provide accurate patron traffic data to optimize scheduling and services. By automating routine tasks, staff will have more time to dedicate to high-demand programs like STEM and digital literacy. This project addresses challenges unique to branch libraries, including limited staffing and service gaps, and supports the library’s mission to provide equitable access for Harnett County’s growing and underserved communities. 4.LIBRARY USERS AND NEED a.Potential Users The Harnett County Public Library seeks funding for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices and services to expand this technology to its branch locations in Angier, Benhaven, Boone Trail, Coats, Dunn, and Erwin. RFID is a technology that uses radio waves to wirelessly transmit data between tags attached to items and RFID readers, enabling efficient t racking, inventory management, and self-service transactions. While RFID has been successfully implemented at the Main Library since 2021, this project aims to ensure equitable access to enhanced library services across the county by bringing the same leve l of technological innovation to its branch locations and their users. Harnett County, located in a rural region along US 401 between Raleigh and Fayetteville, North Carolina, has experienced significant growth, with its population increasing by 24% from 2010 to 2022. This rapid growth has positioned Harnett County as one of the fastest-growing micropolitan areas in the country, creating greater demand for accessible and efficient library services. Currently, 56% of the county’s library cardholders primarily use branch locations, which serve as vital community hubs for rural, low-income, and underserved populations, including seniors, individuals with disabilities, and families with young children. By automating routine tasks such as checkout and inventory tracking, library staff will gain valuable time to focus on developing and delivering extended services and programs tailored to the specific needs of their communities. These programs may include STEM activities for children and teens, technology literacy workshops for adults, and other educational and recreational offerings designed to engage and empower patrons. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 135 HCPL RFID Expansion Page 2 | 8 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library This project will not only enhance the user experience but also reinforce the role of branch libraries as essential resources for education, information, and community engagement. By investing in RFID technology, Harnett County Public Library can ensure that all residents, regardless of their location or socioeconomic status, have access to modern, efficient, and user - friendly library services. b.Need Statement In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, automation and self-service are becoming standard in everyday transactions. Patrons already process their own transactions at supermarkets, restaurants, and retail stores. Implementing RFID technology and self -checkout kiosks in branch libraries will provide patrons with similar privacy and convenience, enhancing their experience and aligning the library system with modern technological standards. These enhancements will support the library’s mission to remain a forward -thinking community institution. Branch libraries face significant challenges, including limited staff, difficulties balancing programming and circulation desk duties, and long program waitlists. During the library system’s recent strategic planning process, community members voiced frustration with program accessibility and branch facilities, which they perceive as less robust than at the Main Library. Furthermore, one the library’s strategic goals for 2024-2027 is to evolve library spaces, including modernizing facilities to meet current and future user needs. From July 2023 to June 2024, branch libraries hosted 872 programs, including storytimes, STEM activities, book clubs, crafts, and digital literacy workshops. These programs play a vital role in serving the diverse needs of the community, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Additionally, branch libraries help narrow the digital divide by providing free internet access and public computer stations, where patrons logged over 5,000 hours last year. However, routine circulation processes significantly limit staff capacity to expand these services and develop new programs. Implementing RFID technology will empower patrons to independently check out materials, freeing staff to address program waitlists, offer personalized assistance, and plan additional community-focused initiatives. Further analysis highlights the need for improved collection management. Current systems report over 1,500 items in branch catalogs as “missing,” not including materials that remain unreported or misfiled. Staff and patrons experience frequent frustration when items marked as “available” in the catalog cannot be located. This inefficiency leads to longer wait times for requested items. RFID technology will address these issues by streamlining inventory tracking, reducing misplaced items, and improving catalog reliability. By addressing these challenges, RFID technology will modernize circulation processes, enhance catalog accuracy, and enable staff to allocate more time to community engagement and program development. This project will not only elevate the quality of library services but also HCBOC 021725 Pg. 136 HCPL RFID Expansion Page 3 | 8 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library meet the evolving needs of patrons across Harnett County’s branch libraries, fostering a more equitable and efficient library experience for all. 5.PROJECT DESCRIPTION a.Solution Expanding RFID technology to the branch libraries will directly benefit library communities by improving the efficiency, accessibility, and quality of services. Requested funds will be used to purchase products and services that are essential to this initiative, including: RFID tags for approximately 98,000 print items and 9,000 DVD and audio items RFID readers for staff workstations Self-checkout stations for patrons RFID-enabled security gates for all patron exit points Key benefits of these acquisitions include: Self-Checkout Machines: RFID-enabled self-checkout machines will streamline the borrowing process, reducing wait times and providing patrons with greater independence and privacy when checking out materials. Self-checkout stations can also detect and process multiple items simultaneously, eliminating the need for individual barcode scanning. This innovation will significantly reduce or eliminate wait times during peak hours, such as before and after programs and storytimes, when branch circulation desks with only 1-2 staff members are frequently overwhelmed. Patrons who use self-checkout will benefit from a faster, more private transaction process, making it easier to check out sensitive materials securely. Improved Inventory Management: In addition to improving the checkout process, RFID technology will integrate with advanced collection management tools to improve catalog accuracy and resource availability. The Main Library’s RFID-enabled shelf management device has demonstrated success in identifying misshelved, missing, claims returned, and lost items without requiring manual shelf checks. Extending RFID technology to branch libraries will enable system -wide use of this device, streamlining the process of locating and managing materials. Enhanced Security: RFID security gates will help protect library resources by identifying items that have not been properly checked out, reducing material loss and preserving resources for community use. Additionally, the reduction in time spent on routine circulation tasks will free up branch s taff to focus on expanding and enhancing library programs and services. Branch libraries already host a variety of high-demand programs, including STEM activities for children and teens, technology literacy workshops for adults, storytimes, and book clubs. By reallocating staff time and resources, the library system aims to increase program offerings. Project targets include: HCBOC 021725 Pg. 137 HCPL RFID Expansion Page 4 | 8 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library Improved patron experience: Increased satisfaction with faster, more private self - checkout options Reduced wait times: Faster service for patrons requiring staff assistance Enhanced collection accuracy: Reduction in misplaced items and items marked as “missing” in the catalog Expanded programming: A 10% increase in STEM and technology literacy programs Increased engagement: A 10% increase in program attendance overall By addressing current challenges and meeting community needs, this project will modernize branch library operations, improve service quality, and strengthen the role of libraries as essential community hubs for education, innovation, and engagement. b.Rationale It is well-established that RFID implementation supports and improves checkout satisfaction, catalog accuracy, and time management in public libraries. The National Information Standards Organization RFID Revision Working Group highlights several key benefits of RFID adoption, including: •Reduction of staff manual processes, errors, and repetitive motion •Enhanced customer experience through fast and private self-checkouts •Reduction of staff and patron time spent in finding items •Integrated security functionality The branches’ current procedures for item check-in/out and inventory involve manually handling items and scanning barcodes on the back of each item. This process is labor -intensive, time-consuming, and prone to errors due to barcode misalignment or mis-scanning. These inefficiencies contribute to misplaced materials and patron frustration. RFID technology offers a transformative solution. RFID readers at staff workstations and patron self-checkout terminals can process multiple items from a stack simultaneously, eliminating the need to handle individual items and align barcodes precisely. This capability improves transaction speed and reduces staff workload, enabling them to focus on more critical tasks l ike planning programs and assisting patrons. RFID-enabled gates provide a reliable method for tracking items as they exit the library. Unlike other security technologies, RFID is uniquely capable of reporting when a non -checked-out item is accidentally or intentionally removed. These gates can identify and analyze multiple tagged items as patrons pass through. If an item is detected in any status other than “checked out,” visible and audible alarms are activated, and staff are notified. This system reduces material loss, improves catalog accuracy, and ensures that library resources remain accessible to the community. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 138 HCPL RFID Expansion Page 5 | 8 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library The success of RFID at the Main Library underscores its potential impact system -wide. Since its implementation: •Workflow efficiency has improved, with 51,865 self-checkouts (30% of all checkouts) processed from June 2023 to July 2024. •Collection management has been enhanced, leading to a 95% reduction in “claims returned” items (127 fewer items as of January 2025 compared to August 2020). •Material loss has been significantly reduced, with 899 fewer lost items (a 12% reduction) and 2,473 fewer missing items (a 67% reduction). RFID also helped ensure the secure recovery of over 1,700 items that were not properly checked out last year. RFID gates also provide a more reliable and functional method for tracking patron foot traffic. Current door count methods in branch libraries are low-tech and limit the library’s ability to analyze patron traffic accurately. With RFID-enabled gates and accompanying software, branch libraries will gain precise data on incoming and outgoing traffic. These gates will report and analyze hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly door counts. This data will allow the library to identify peak traffic periods, optimize staffing, and better align services with patron demand. This project will significantly enhance operational efficiency, catalog reliability, and the overall patron experience while enabling data-driven decision-making. Building on the success of the Main Library’s RFID implementation, the branches will benefit from streamlined workflows, reduced material loss, and improved patron satisfaction. This initiative ensures that library resources are optimized to meet the community’s evolving needs effectively and sustainably. c.Costs The costs outlined for this project directly support its goal of implementing RFID technology across six branch libraries. Below is a narrative that explains the necessity and relevance of these costs in achieving the project objectives: •Supplies o RFID readers (workstations): 11 RFID readers will be purchased at $895 each for circulation desk workstations across all branch libraries. These devices are essential for processing transactions efficiently by enabling staff to check in and out multiple items simultaneously. By reducing the time and effort spent scanning individual barcodes, these readers free up staff to focus on other critical responsibilities, such as assisting patrons and planning programs. o RFID tags: The costs for tags are necessary to equip the entire branch library system for RFID operations and are competitively priced based on market standards. Square tags for books, magazines and kits: 80 rolls of RFID square tags (2,000 per roll) will be purchased at $249 per roll. These tags are fundamental to RFID implementation, allowing books, magazines, and kits to be processed seamlessly at self-checkout stations and workstations. Allocation based on branch collection sizes will ensure equitable distribution and optimal use. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 139 HCPL RFID Expansion Page 6 | 8 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library Disk tags for CDs and DVDs: 6 rolls of RFID disk tags (1,000 per roll) will be purchased at $359 per roll to tag audiovisual materials. Like the square tags, these are vital for enabling RFID functionality in media collect ions. The tagging process will ensure that all library materials are compatible with the new technology, streamlining transactions and inventory management. •Equipment o RFID-enabled self-checkout machines: 6 self-checkout machines will be purchased at $7,692 each, one for each branch. These machines empower patrons to check out materials independently, reducing wait times and improving transaction privacy. They address current challenges with limited staff availability at branches and align with the project’s goal of enhancing the patron experience. o RFID-enabled security gates: 6 security gates will be purchased at $8,192 each, one set for each library. These gates are essential for protecting library collections by detecting items that have not been properly che cked out. They also provide reliable patron traffic data, which can be analyzed to optimize library operations and resource allocation. •Services o Security gate software licenses: 6 licenses for gate software will be purchased at $553 each, one per library. The software ensures seamless integration between the gates and the RFID system, enabling real-time alerts and reporting. These licenses are critical for the effective operation of the security gates and support the broader goals of catalog accuracy and material security. o Shipping costs: A shipping cost of $7,475 will cover the delivery of all equipment and supplies to the branch locations. This cost is necessary to ensure that all components are delivered securely and promptly to each library, facilitating timely implementation. Each cost item in this budget is integral to the successful implementation of RFID technology across the branch libraries. The costs are reasonable given the scope and scale of the project, and they align with industry standards for RFID equipment and supplies. d.Sustainability The Harnett County Board of Commissioners has demonstrated strong support for the library’s technology initiatives by approving funding for RFID implementation as part of the county’s Capital Improvement Projects. A total of $33,454 will be requested to match this grant for FY2025, and ongoing costs associated with this project have been planned for and will be incorporated into future budgets. The long-term sustainability of this project is ensured through careful planning and allocation of resources for key components such as tagging new items, software subscriptions, equipment maintenance and replacement, and ongoing staff training. HCBOC 021725 Pg. 140 HCPL RFID Expansion Page 7 | 8 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library •Tagging new items: To maintain the integrity of the RFID system, all new items added to the branch collections must be tagged. Based on current budget projections, branch libraries are expected to add approximately 13,500 items annually. With RFID tag costs varying by type, it is estimated that the library will spend roughly $2,000 per year on branch tagging supplies. This cost has been accounted for within the library’s collection budget to ensure continuity. •Software subscriptions and equipment maintenance: The RFID-enabled gates require an annual gate reporting software license, with a renewal cost of approximately $553 per library. Maintenance and service for the RFID equipment will be free during the first year of the project and are anticipated to increase by about 3% annually starting in the second year. These recurring costs will be funded through the library’s designated technology budget, which also includes provisions for future equipment upgrades and replacements. This ensures that all hardware and software remain functional and up-to- date as technology advances or equipment ages. •Staff training and support: Ongoing staff training is a critical component of this project’s sustainability. Main Library staff will provide comprehensive training to branch staff on RFID procedures, ensuring they are equipped to manage the system effectively. Training will be updated regularly to reflect any changes in processes, equipment, or software. This sustainability plan reflects a proactive and structured approach to maintaining the RFID system well beyond its initial implementation. By securing adequate funding, planning for recurring expenses, and investing in staff training, the Harnett County Public Library w ill ensure that the RFID system remains a vital tool for improving operational efficiency, catalog accuracy, and patron satisfaction for years to come. e.Partners The library will partner with Harnett County IT and Public Buildings to ensure that network access points, conduits, and electrical considerations are prepared for device installation. The library will continue to work closely with IT as ongoing technical needs arise. 6.EVALUATION The library will use quantitative and qualitative methods to measure the success of this project, and to track progress towards project goals. a.Outcomes and Outputs Project outcomes are centered around 3 primary goals: enhance customer service, improve inventory accuracy, and increase programming. Specific outcomes include: 1.Increase patron satisfaction with the checkout process (customer service) 2.Increase patron satisfaction with catalog accuracy (customer service) 3.Increase patron satisfaction with staff accessibility (customer service) 4.Reduce patron time spent waiting for staff assistance (customer service) 5.Fewer misplaced and inaccurately marked items (inventory accuracy) 6.Increase programs numbers, especially in STEM and technology by 10% or more (programming) HCBOC 021725 Pg. 141 HCPL RFID Expansion Page 8 | 8 LSTA Project Grant Application, 2025-2026 Harnett County Public Library 7.Increase program attendance overall by 10% or more (programming) b.Evaluation Outcomes will be measured as described below: Outcome/Output Data Collection Method (to be collected before and after implementation for comparison) Indicator(s) Increased patron satisfaction with Library’s checkout processes Patron Satisfaction Surveys Higher overall reported satisfaction rating Increased patron satisfaction with catalog accuracy Patron Satisfaction Surveys Higher overall reported satisfaction rating Increased patron satisfaction with staff accessibility Patron Satisfaction Survey Higher overall reported satisfaction rating Reduced patron time spent waiting for staff assistance Staff tally Fewer instances of patrons waiting in line for assistance Fewer misplaced items Inventory reports Fewer items marked “missing,” “claims returned,” and/or “lost” Increased program numbers, especially in STEM and technology Program reports 10% increase or more in completed programs Increase program attendance overall Program reports 10% increase or more in total program attendance In addition to measurable outputs, the Library will also solicit patron feedback in the form of open-ended questions on both the Pre and Post -RFID Implementation Surveys.

The center of the site, once wooded, has recently been cleared. The property is situated along the Norfolk Southern Railroad, a 100’ railway right-of-way and intersects the western property line. Background A petition to rezone the property to Commercial was denied by the Board of Commissioners in December 2023. Several neighboring property owners expressed concerns regarding the potential traffic impacts if this property were developed for commercial use. A traffic light has since been installed at the intersection of U.S. 401 N. and Rawls Church Road. Surrounding Land Uses Surrounding land uses consist of single-family residences and various non-residential uses including agricultural activities, a religious institution, and a turf and tractor supply facility. In 2022, +/- 72 acres of adjacent land was zoned Commercial. Since the property was rezoned, Revels Turf & Tractor has relocated their facility from Fuquay-Varina to Rawls Church Rd. The recent zoning change has spurred commercial growth and signifies a trend of non-residential development in the area.
