libraries and support the work you’re already doing with early literacy. The DELC budget passed but at a lower-than-expected amount. We’re waiting to hear if they still plan to make this allocation. If it happens, the allocation would slightly increase your
grant amounts. We wanted to let you know about this possibility just in case! <o:p>
