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 large print books for homebound readers for Cochise County, effective May 8, 2020 through August 6, 2021.

Background:

The "Large Print for Homebound Readers" grant will enhance access to large print materials for homebound readers across Cochise County. 

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 the grant funds ($4,000) can be used to purchase large print books.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

The Library District will purchase grant-funded large print books in Fall and Winter 2020, and promote the collection through Summer 2021.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Project is only possible with grant funding.
