Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant from the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, in the amount of $4,000, for "Ebooks for All.", effective May 18, 2018 through August 2, 2019.
Background:
The "Ebooks for All" grant will enhance access to library ebooks for rural residents in Cochise County by adding high-interest titles to the library collection, and presenting "Ebook Open House" events at rural branch libraries to raise public awareness of the collection.
This Collections and Programming (CAP) grant from the Arizona State Library is categorized as a mini-grant, with a streamlined application and reporting progress. So all of the grant funds ($4,000) can be used to purchase digital materials.
