Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The New Braunfels Public Library continues to participate in statewide resource sharing and helping meet the information needs of Texans through participating in interlibrary loan lends (ILL). The New Braunfels Public Library is eligible to receive a reimbursement payment from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for interlibrary loan lends made to Texas public libraries in State Fiscal Year 2017.
Based on the number of lends provided by our library last year (743), and the available funding of $7.07 per lend, the New Braunfels Public Library estimates to receive a reimbursement payment of $5,253.01.
The deadline to participate is June 30, 2017, and payment will be dispersed electronically to by December 2017. These funds are to offset expenditures that took place during the State Fiscal Year which runs from September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017.
