The 2020 state aid calculations are now complete. This year, we’ve transitioned from paper state aid letters to electronic distribution of information to public libraries. You should have received an e-mail notification about your aid if you are an accredited public library. Here is some general information about the
state aid program and eligibility, and how it is distributed. There is also a posted list of the
state aid distributions for 2020 (including this year’s formula, the payment amounts, and aid per capita). Finally, here is a link to a
press release you can customize and use for your particular library.
This year, there were 46 libraries that will be receiving
Dollar$ for Data payments. Those libraries are now eligible to apply for
accreditation.
The next public library survey collection cycle (required to maintain accreditation for accredited libraries and required for unaccredited libraries to receive Dollar$ for Data payments) begins in November.
