The 2018 state aid calculations are now complete. State aid letters have been mailed and payments are in process. In the meantime, you can read (in general) about
state aid and how it is distributed. Here is a list of the
state aid distributions for 2018 (including this year’s formula). Finally, here is a link to a
press release you can customize and use for your particular library.
Here is also a list of the libraries that will be receiving
Dollar$ for Data payments. For those libraries, you are now eligible to apply for accreditation when the cycle opens this summer.
For 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 via
Bibliostat. The next public library survey collection cycle begins in November.
