State Library of Ohio Board has awarded $2,306,129 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Outreach Grants to 45 institutions. The purpose of the
<a href="https://library.ohio.gov/arpa/">ARPA Outreach Grant</a> initiative is to assist libraries and their communities as they respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as address economic and community needs resulting from the pandemic through equitable
approaches. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">Utilizing Federal ARPA funds received from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), Ohio libraries of all types to were encouraged to submit proposals for
this competitive grant program revolving around the concept of outreach. Applications were accepted in three categories: Outreach and Education, Community Connections, and Outreach Initiatives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">“The unique opportunity that has been afforded to libraries thanks to ARPA grants has allowed libraries to respond to the needs of their
own communities in exciting and innovative ways,” expressed Dr. Tracy Nájera, State Library Board President. “As each community found new needs as a result of the pandemic, libraries have adapted to the new environment and continued to find ways to reach and
serve their patrons."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">“Libraries intend to respond to community needs in a variety of ways,” said Evan T. Struble, Associate State Librarian for Library Development. “Applicants identified
the need for outreach vehicles, 24/7 reserve materials lockers, Story Walks, additional library materials and ebooks, and so much more. I can’t wait for these projects to get off the ground.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">“Whether through technology or more traditional tools, libraries have once again risen to the occasion, and been an anchor for their communities throughout the pandemic
and as we rebuild a new way of doing things," stated Wendy Knapp, State Librarian of Ohio.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
