[Nmtriblibs] FW: Your 2020 GO Bonds... going...going...

[Moore, Patricia, DCA]

Directors,

As promised, here’s the November update for the 2020 GO Bonds with only 5 more months to submit those reimbursement requests.

Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much progress overall.

As of today, Nov. 1, 2023, public libraries have requested 29% of their GO Bond Allocations, up from 27% last month.  For comparison, at this point in time w/the 2018 GOBs coming to a close, public libraries had requested 40% (yep, you read that correctly) of their GOB allocations.

Tribal public libraries have requested 15.8% of their GO Bond Allocations, up from 15.5%.  At this time, back in 2021 when the 2018 GOBs only had 5 months left, tribal public libraries had only requested 6.3% of their total GOB allocations.  Looks like some of the tribal public libraries are busy and making progress.

Good thing we have five months left because there’s still a lot of money laying around on somebody’s table!  For all I know, you’ve all spent your money, but you (or your finance people) just haven’t had the time to take care of the paperwork.  Here’s a little nudge to get that done and off your desk and onto mine!

Have a good four weeks ahead and be productive! And know that someone at the state library is thinking of each and every one of you every time I do process another reimbursement request.  😉

Good afternoon, Everyone!

Surely, you’re not wondering why in the world I’m emailing you on a Monday and the first day of the month?!  It must be GO BONDS, of course.

Yep – you’ve got six – count ‘em – 6 months to get your remaining 2020 GO Bond allocation spent out and to submit your reimbursement requests to me by the April 1, 2024 deadline.

Not everyone has gotten this far in reading this email.  Six library directors have deleted this email because the subject doesn’t pertain to them.  Why, you ask?  Because THEY have already spent out their allocations, sent in their paperwork, and gotten their reimbursements.

Wouldn’t you like to see your library’s name in this august list?

As of October 2, 2023, public libraries have requested 27% of their GO Bond Allocations.  Tribal public libraries have requested 15.5% of their GO Bond Allocations.  Good thing we have six months left because there’s a lot of money laying around on somebody’s table!

I look forward to hearing from many of you soon. I’m available to work w/you or your financial personnel if there’re questions or clarifications needed on any of the procedures.  I’ll be back in November to let you know how much progress was made this October.

Get busy…😊 and keep me busy!
