<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I think North Carolina has had some great statewide programs in the past, but nothing as of late.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Maybe this is opening up a larger debate, but the term “statewide” can be hard to define. Is this a program that everyone gets to matter what? Something like Nebraska’s motion picture license is great because
it really does benefit every library. On the other hand, trainings that we offer in every part of the state may seem statewide because they are open to all, but that doesn’t mean that every library actually benefits from it if no one takes the training.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I think the majority of what we will be doing moving forward is offering training and participation in projects on a voluntary basis. The last thing that the State Library tried to implement statewide (online
summer reading) was a massive fail and it’s left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths. So choosing to participate in something is the way we’ll need to go for now at least.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I’m interested in knowing what you think your best statewide project is that impacts youth services (beside summer reading, and let’s also exclude standard early literacy programs, as we already
have one of those). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">This may sound like a very random and general question, but our state has a history of putting a lot of funding into subgrants. As a result, we don’t have many statewide projects, but in the
future, we may be interested in cutting back on some of the grants and using the excess funds towards more statewide projects.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I’ve been asked to consider where I might want to put the funding, if we pulled back some of the funding for summer reading grants, and to be honest, I’m not even sure what the possibilities
are. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I’m going to consider unique possibilities, but I would also be interested in hearing what’s already in place and working well in other states.
