Overview

The SCKLS Grant-in-Aid program, which is budgeted at $982,000 for 2010, partially compensates public library members of SCKLS for services they provide to registered library borrowers who are not residents of their public library tax district. Given the continuing state level reductions and other economic factors that affect library funding, SCKLS and its Executive Committee want to assure member libraries of our commitment and support for all budgeted SCKLS grant programs for 2010. We have chosen to reduce spending in areas that don’t directly impact grants to member libraries.

In the case of academic library members of SCKLS, the Grant-in-Aid program compensates your library for registered library borrowers who are not enrolled as students or who are not employees of your institution. As a condition for SCKLS membership, participating libraries agree to provide a free library card and free interlibrary loan services, subject to local borrowing rules, to any individual who requests them and who lives within the 12 county region of SCKLS.
