<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">As you may know, eRate is undergoing significant changes this year. OPLIN, the State Library, the regional library systems and OLC have worked together to bring you
a significantly increased number of workshops. All workshops are free of charge.<span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:black">Depending on your library’s organizational structure, your director or fiscal officer should attend. In addition, if your library is considering updating
your wireless you may want an IT staff member to attend so that he/she will know which components are eligible for eRate discounts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Lorrie Germann, State eRate Coordinator,<span style="color:black"> will cover changes to eRate and a line by line review of the Form 470. From
</span>9am-12pm, she will provide an overview of the eRate process and upcoming changes for this funding year. From 12pm-1pm there will be a lunch break. From 1pm-3pm there will be a line-by-line review of Form 470, the first step in the application process.
