[aisle] Illinois School Library Grant

[pippine]

I emailed someone with the State Library Grant division to double check on this last week. She told me that the letters are ready to go out but that they are waiting for the legislator to make the increase official since it will change the amounts award. If you have questions or concerns I would recommend contacting Karen Egan with the State Library grants or calling their office. They have been really helpful at answering all of my questions.

Good Morning!
Has anyone received word on the School Library Grant money and how much your district is getting?  We haven't heard anything yet, and my district likes us to get that money spent by March/April.

Also, I just now ran across this ILA article<https://www.ila.org/news/1217/legislative-update-july-2-2020>  that says schools are getting an increase this year from .75 to .885 per student, but I don't see this information on the Cyberdrive Illinois website.  Does anyone know more about this?
