Request for Approval to Apply for Two Library Services & Technology Act
Grants Through the State Library of North Carolina: Library Director Steve
Messick asked permission to apply for two grants. He said an EZ -Basic Equipment
grant would be used to purchase nine notebook computers and a wireless access point to
provide computer -training classes. Messick said the $10,500 grant would have an 85/15
split with $8,925 coming from the state and $1,575 being a local match.
Pertaining to the second grant, Messick said the funding would be used for a
marketing plan for the new library. He said one grant goal would be to encourage the
county's citizenry to become a "community of readers." Mr. Messick said the total
project cost would be $25,000.00, and this included a ten percent ($2,500) local match
that would be provided by the Friends of the Library organization. He said the funding

would be used to produce newsletters and other promotional materials (2) postage (3)
printing company services to help in the newsletter's design and creation (4) staff
training in computer graphic design programs and (4) speaker honoraria.
