title
Request by the County Library for approval to submit an application to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for grant funds in the amount of $40,000, with no required match, for the FY 2024 Interlibrary Loan Program.
end
Background and Discussion: The Harris County Public Library participates in the statewide Interlibrary Loan
program. To offset the cost of participation, TSLAC provides an annual reimbursement/grant that varies
depending on the number of loans we facilitate.
Expected Impact: This annual grant provides much-needed funds to cover the cost of shipping materials
across the state by our Interlibrary Loan department. It will reduce the amount of General Fund monies this
program would otherwise require to maintain.
Alternative Options: The library could reject the funds and request additional General Fund monies.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
_ Flooding
