Below is a top 5 FAQ's about our current project to distribute materials statewide via the ARPA grant that we received.</div><br><div>TOP 5 FAQ's</div><br><div>1. <strong>When do we give the materials received back?</strong> If your library receives materials <span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;">they are yours to keep</span> for your library and the public.</div><br><div>2. <strong>Can I see the complete request form first?</strong> Yes. Attached! Including lists of what is in each kit. But <span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;">you still must fill out the form online</span> at the Google link above to make an official request.</div><br><div>3. <strong>What if I don't know how to use the kit materials?</strong> There will be some instructional <span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;">how-to videos</span> for distributed equipment during the project, after kits are distributed.</div><br><div>4. <strong>What is the timeline for the project?</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;">Requests are due December 13</span>. The project (grant period) runs through September 2022. Libraries receiving materials will complete a usage survey in August 2022.</div><br><div>5. <strong>Should I apply?</strong> Yes! <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;display:inline !important;float:none">Don't overthink making a request. </span>The form is rather simple and short and you can go back and forth in the pages to change your answers. If you goof it up we can assist. Even if you're not sure if your library qualifies you might as well take a couple of minutes and submit a request. We will let you know if there was an issue with your request.</div><br><div>Online request form: <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZTjc-mJ2STV_rnkFydPUV1G_iw7XCIpiNz2ti7WT928Lirw/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color:#006990;text-decoration:none;font-family:'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#fdfdfd" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZTjc-mJ2STV_rnkFydPUV1G_iw7XCIpiNz2ti7WT928Lirw/viewform?usp=sf_link</a> </div><br><div>-Steve</div><br><div><div>Steven K.
