support in building a video collection, collection development;
funding for additional databases, information on-line they would have
paid for, video playback equipment, help with automation, workshops
that the librarian would have attended and then re -given to the
community (e.g. internet; etc.), cost on equipment that they buy in
bulk, access to grants that are for NETLS members only, Loan Star
Libraries Program benefits - an additional $13,000) that come with this
grant:
ii) Met with Sandy Sharp to discuss where we go from here - how do we
open the public library now:
