The FY2012 State Aid to Public Library payments will this year again be disbursed in two half payments. The municipality and its library will receive half of the award after the Board of Library Commissions certifies the municipality and its library. The second half will be disbursed in the Spring when the Board of Library Commissioners receives the final allotment of the State Aid appropriation.
State Aid applications and print copies of the Financial Report are due with a postmark of October 14th.
The first group of completed applications (libraries meeting all requirements) to be received and vetted at the agency will be presented to the Board of Library Commissioners for approval at their November 3, 2011 meeting.
If all applications (libraries meeting all requirements) are complete and vetted by staff in time for presentation, the second and final group will go before the Board at their December 1, 2011 meeting.
All applicants for a waiver of the FY2012 MAR will be presented to the Board at their January 5, 2012 meeting and the Board will act on all applications at their February 2, 2012 meeting. The earliest certification date for any library and its municipality requesting a waiver of the FY2012 MAR is February 2, 2012.
