is to get the money to you shortly before your cohort starts, or as soon as possible after.

worker, so you will have to decide who gets the money (or divvy it up on your end once you get it). <o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>When are the cohorts?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The cohorts are scheduled to be (subject to change if mutually agreed upon):

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Why is this important?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Coming out of a pandemic, rural libraries and the community members they serve face the challenge of reestablishing mutual support, rebuilding social connection, and strengthening resiliency. The tools prioritize community engagement and
dialogue, with a focus on reaching the isolated and marginalized, as a foundation for taking action to improve wellbeing in the community.
