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 Spanish/Bilingual eBooks for Cochise County, effective May 17, 2019 through August 3, 2020.
Background:
The "Spanish/Bilingual eBooks" grant will enhance access to library ebooks for rural residents in Cochise County by adding Spanish and bilingual titles to the existing digital collection, and highlighting the new materials at library programs.
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.
