<p>Hi all,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I reached out to IMLS this morning to see if there was any word on when the Native American Libraries Basic Grants application would post.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As you can see in the response, the Notice of Financial Opportunity is being reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. Sarah from IMLS did say, however, that the deadline for applications is likely to be sometime in early April.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If I learn anything more, I will pass it along.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Dale<br>

I can share with New Mexico's tribal libraries?</span></p>
