00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.662
Honestly, these IMLS funds make
things possible in Utah that

2
00:00:06.662 --> 00:00:09.160
just wouldn't have happened any
other way.

3
00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:13.922
So being able to use these funds
for sub granting has really

4
00:00:13.922 --> 00:00:18.109
allowed people to make real
difference in their community

5
00:00:18.109 --> 00:00:22.440
and implement programs that end
up having impact for years.

6
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:26.191
Our libraries are very good at
participating in their

7
00:00:26.191 --> 00:00:30.360
community, really being dialed
into those community needs and

8
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:31.840
they're so innovative.

9
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:35.228
The projects we see come out are
just meaningful and intentional

10
00:00:35.228 --> 00:00:38.200
and actually move the needle on
what they're working on.

11
00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:40.640
So we're always really excited
about our sub grants.

12
00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:44.329
We also just started an
initiative focusing on literacy,

13
00:00:44.329 --> 00:00:47.749
where we've partnered with
authors and are bringing them in

14
00:00:47.749 --> 00:00:51.398
for both early literacy and teen
literacy to try and spread the

15
00:00:51.398 --> 00:00:54.818
message of how important that
literacy is and how libraries

16
00:00:54.818 --> 00:00:55.559
can help you.
