<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if states have surveyed their libraries in an effort to identify from the field what the critical needs are in order to best administer ARPA funds. If you have sent out a survey and received responses, what needs have been
identified? Any other information relating to ARPA funds planning and processes for determining need and allocation is completely welcome

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those LSTA Coordinators who are also State Data Coordinators, our State Data Coordinator Meg DePriest will be reaching out to her data coordinator list as well – sorry for any duplicate inquiries.
