Shaka. The 2016 state aid calculations are now complete. State aid letters have been mailed and payments are in process. In the meantime, if you want to know more information about
state aid (in general) go to that part of the NLC website. Here is a list of the
state aid distributions for 2016, and here is a link to a
press release you can customize and use for your particular library.
For those libraries that aren’t accredited, now may be the time to consider the
accreditation process, as you would then be eligible for state aid next year. You also need to submit your public library survey online with
Bibliostat. The accreditation process starts later this summer, and the next public library survey collection cycle begins in November.
