Title
A Resolution Accepting the FY19 LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) Grant
Summary
The City of Foley Public Library would like for the Foley City Council to accept an LSTA Grant in the amount of $10,000.00. That amount will be matched with $2,500.00 in local funds which will be budgeted by the Library. The funds will be used to purchase materials for the Library's Fiction collection. The original grant request was for $20,000.00 with a local funds match of $5,000.00. However, grant funds were limited and, ultimately, the Foley Public Library received $10,000.00 for the project. That, in turn, will require a $2,500.00 local funds match which will be budgeted by the Library.
