The Public Library Assistance (PLA) grant for FY2020 for Kenai Community Library will be
$7,000. We are delighted that your library is eligible to receive this annual operating grant so that you
can provide the best possible service to your library patrons.
In order to receive your grant money, please return the attached grant agreement as soon as
you can. Two different people (the librarian and the appropriate legal authority) must sign the grant
agreement, since it is a legal document committing your library to certain obligations in return for
receiving the public library assistance grant. Once we have your agreement, we will electronically deposit
your grant award (or mail a paper check in specific instances).
The FY2020 Public Library Assistance grant year starts July 1, 2019. Ubrarians and officials should
carefully note and follow the regulations governing the administration of this grant. To remain eligible for
the grant, the library MUST:
• Submit the online Alaska Public Library Report by September 1, 2020.
• Spend at least $3,500 on library materials and online services.
• Be open the appropriate number of hours for your population.
• Be open at least 48 weeks.
• Schedule five hours during evenings and/or weekends each week.
• Have trained paid or volunteer staff on duty in the library during all open hours.
• Combined school/public libraries must take special care to not use grant money or local funds used
as matching money for school116rary or curriculum support purposes. This includes purchasing
school -type library materials (books, magazines, etc.). These funds must be used for the purchase of
public library -type materials.
Each library director is required to attend at least 6 hours of continuing education (CE) during the
current two year cycle, which includes FY2020 and FY2021 (July 2019 through June 2021). If you
attended continuing education during FY2019, do be sure to record that training on your FY2019 Alaska
Public Library Report.
The State Library audits the records of selected libraries at the end of the grant year and reclaims any
grant funds not properly accounted for. Also, any portion of this grant money not spent or encumbered
by June 30, 2020 should be returned to the State Library. You may request an extension to spend
unused FY2020 public library grant funds.
You may contact me at: tracv.swaim0alaska.00v or 907-465-1018 if you have questions.
Sincerely,
l�
