Guidelines
An eligible school district library must have provided 25 or more interlibrary loans to libraries outside your district during calendar year January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. Only interlibrary loans made to libraries outside your school district may be counted. Loans of library materials made to individual libraries within your district may not be counted toward the 25 or more interlibrary loans required for eligibility.
K-12 school libraries are eligible for this grant only if the school district employs a licensed, fulltime librarian (example: MLS, MLIS, MS in Education with library media specialist endorsement).
Interlibrary loans provided from individual library sites within a district may not be combined to meet the 25 or more interlibrary loans required for eligibility. More than one grant may be received by a district if the individual library site within the district meets the 25 or more interlibrary loans eligibility requirement.
The total grant amount that an eligible school library receives will be based on a rate of $6.00 for each interlibrary loan of 25 or more provided to libraries outside the district or institution. An application form must be submitted by Friday, January 31, 2025. Required documentation for application includes a copy of your school library’s 2024 Kansas Interlibrary Loan Activity Report. The contact person at the Kansas State Library to assist you in obtaining a copy of the Kansas Interlibrary Loan Activity Report if you do not have one is Nikki Hansen, nicole.hansen@ks.gov
Checks will be distributed by Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
If you have questions about the grant, please contact Robin Hargrave, Youth and School Services Consultant, 800-234-0529, Ext. 144.
