We know you guys are all working hard hard right now. And we are here to support you!

We are going to suspend the VR kit loans for the rest of this school year. We have notified the schools involved, but wanted to let anyone who might be waiting to see if you could borrow one. But we are looking forward to loaning them back out again to schools this fall!

We are also going to suspend our mini-grant and scholarship applications for the rest of this school year. No more applications will be accepted or funded.

If you have already applied, you are fine – we will honor that commitment. If you are not going to be able to fulfill your mini-grant this year, please let us know. We will work with you to move your funding to next school year.

If you have not submitted your receipts and report, please just hang onto them. Our office building is closed, so receiving mail will be a problem for us right now. And we would only be able to issue checks in extenuating circumstances, until the schools are open again. Your money is yours – no problem with that; but we are pausing operations along with everyone else for the moment.

Whew! It is this kind of thing that makes us all realize the great things we took for granted just a couple of weeks ago!

But, CMLE is always here for you. We want to help support your library work – whether you are in-person or working online. If you have not checked out our list of resources, it’s right here!

Stay home. Stay healthy. And let us know if we can do anything to help your library! You can always reach out to us at admin@cmle.org. We’re here for you.
