Library System To Receive Grant

The Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System will receive $33,902 in federal CARES Act funding. The grant was announced recently by the New York State Library and is part of a $1,757,794 disbursement to the state in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds. The money can be spent on projects to expand digital network access, purchase internet accessible devices and provide technical support services. The State Library will distribute more than $1.4 million in federal CARES Act funds by formula to each of New York’s 23 public library systems. Each system is required to submit an application to the State Library demonstrating accordance with CARES Act guidelines. Systems will focus efforts on three key areas as identified by IMLS: Address digital inclusion and related technical support; address other efforts that prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19; and reach museum and tribal partners, in addition to traditionally eligible library entities, where appropriate. Systems are encouraged to collaborate with other libraries and systems, schools, colleges and universities, cultural organizations and community organizations in order to meet these goals.
