they manage. This will benefit about 150 public, school, and academic libraries in the State.

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if you all could share any projects you funded with ARPA funds that were quick and easy to do and had a large impact (on your libraries and the amount of funds).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We’re find ourselves with more leftover funds than we thought and are seeking different project ideas.<o:p></o:p></p>
