<p class="MsoNormal">For the library systems that we sub-granted to-- I am going to send them letters from our state librarian that officially notifies them that their ARPA grant period has been extended. I just want to look at the grant from an auditors' point
of view and I would want to see some kind of Official Notification that the grant period was extended along with the new deadline. Luckily, these are just a few letters to a few county library systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
