The State Library has received an order of the blue and white Library signs. Signs can be used on roads leading to the library, on the library building, or inside a building to help identify the library. We ordered 100 signs and the first ones will go to libraries who do not have a sign or whose current signs are in poor condition.
Directional arrows are also available.
The award is from the United States Department of Agriculture, and is a Rural Development Community Facilities Grant for construction of the new library building. And when it rains it pours, the Chilkoot Indian Association is the recipient of one of the Native American Library Services Enhancement grant awards announced by IMLS earlier this week. The contest deadline is December 1, 2001. Each letter must be accompanied by an official entry coupon or copy of one.
