<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s my favorite e-mail of the year! We are so happy to let you all know that the 2022 Ready to Read checks are finally in the mail, along with the award letters some folks need for auditors or financial departments. (If you need a digital
copy, here’s the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VISV-P3fu5gZBDJU1IEch1z93oME-H5g/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107160907715728308747&rtpof=true&sd=true">
letter enclosed with your check</a>, and here’s the letter saying you <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VISV-P3fu5gZBDJU1IEch1z93oME-H5g/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107160907715728308747&rtpof=true&sd=true">
received an electronic deposit</a>.) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had a <b>slight discrepancy</b> with the numbers of awarded amounts. Every library awarded an amount over the minimum grant of $1000 is getting an amount not rounded to the nearest dollar, it has cents on it. We’ve
<a href="https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/readytoreadgrant/applicationguidelines#s-lg-box-21921234">
updated those final amounts here</a> if you have questions. We’ve fixed the issue that caused this so next year everyone should be back to a nearest dollar amount instead of having to keep track of cents amounts. We will also add the amount awarded to your
individual accounts in the online grant system, just give us a minute (or a few!) to do that. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks again for your patience this year. We look forward to hearing all about your projects!
