Governor Perry signed a SB913 on Saturday to continue the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. Included in the bill, there was some language to allow Systems to raise funds outside of the System grant. This is great news for NTRLS as we can raise funds in the following ways:
(a) The commission may
authorize a major resource system or regional library system to
receive money in addition to the system operation grant, including
money from:
(1) gifts or grants from the federal government, local
or regional governments, private sources, or other sources;
(2) contracts for services;
(3) cost-sharing arrangements; or
(4) other fees.
The NTRLS staff has already started to think of ways to raise additional funds without taking away from the core projects of consulting and continuing education. I will begin to write grants in September for projects. If you have any ideas in this area, please let me know.
