Brian, please look into a LSTA grant. I got a price of $13,969 for a reader/printer/scanner<br>from micrographic solution for a ScanPro200 Base unit with zoom lense film carrier and extended warranty and ground shipping. Their websiteis:<a href="http://www.MicroGraphicSolutions.com">www.MicroGraphicSolutions.com</a><br>
LSTA requires a 25% match. Go to Ohio Webjunction:<a href="http://library.ohio.gov/lpd/lsta/">http://library.ohio.gov/lpd/lsta/</a> for information on the deadlines etc. If they do not fund that kind of equipment try <br>
<a href="http://www.praxair.com">www.praxair.com</a> They have a library computer donation program. We go $20,000 for <br>library computers from them this year. The ScanPro reader/printer/scanner must be attached to a library computer. Praxair has a online form to fill out. Most grants require that either the library or the Friends of the Library have a 501 (c) 3 status to receive grant monies. I applied using the Friends status. Best wishes. If; you have any questions call me at 330-854-4148 ext. 306 at the Canal Fulton Public Library.<br>

Is anyone aware of any grants which might assist in purchasing equipment
for the purposes of local history. We have a microfilm reader/printer
but the printer portion is not functioning. If someone has an obit.
request we have to send them or a staff member to another local library
with a functioning machine.<br>
I appreciate any leads.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Brian Hare<div>Director, Liberty Center Public Library</div><div><a href="tel:419-533-5721" value="+14195335721" target="_blank">419-533-5721</a></div>
