Failure to follow and meet grant guidelines and deadlines will result in ineligibility.

SCKLS Technology Grants are eligible for the sole use of member library business. Computers and/or other technologies purchased through any SCKLS Technology Grant program may not be used by or in conjunction with any non-library entity. SCKLS provides grants and support solely for member library dedicated software and hardware solutions.
