00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.254
So in North Carolina, the state
federal partnership between the

2
00:00:07.254 --> 00:00:11.029
IMLS and State Library of North
Carolina represents hundreds of

3
00:00:11.029 --> 00:00:13.920
activities that benefit our
residents every day.

4
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:18.547
This can be from residents being
able to go pick up materials

5
00:00:18.547 --> 00:00:20.320
after hours at a location.

6
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.853
It can mean that a library is
coming to a place closer to

7
00:00:23.853 --> 00:00:26.748
them, or it can mean that
they're learning skills like

8
00:00:26.748 --> 00:00:28.960
computer skills or small
business skills.

9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.885
Our libraries are providing
access to more technology than

10
00:00:32.885 --> 00:00:33.480
ever before.

11
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.283
We hear time and time again that
without the investment of these

12
00:00:38.283 --> 00:00:42.714
funds that libraries wouldn't be
able to start newer programs and

13
00:00:42.714 --> 00:00:43.520
initiatives.

14
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.382
We are proud to be the stewards
of these funds and grateful for

15
00:00:47.382 --> 00:00:50.884
the support from IMLS to be able
to provide these opportunities

16
00:00:50.884 --> 00:00:52.800
to our libraries across the
state.
