Description: Although the grant was awarded in the fall of 2021, during the 2022-2023 academic year, my role as Library Business Manager involved monitoring the expenses of this nearly $1 million dollar grant. The Monroe County Public Library system’s record-breaking American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant for $975,469. This is the greatest amount awarded to a Florida library and the highest ever bestowed to Monroe's libraries. The 100 percent federally-funded grant includes a suite of technology and equipment solutions for library patrons to confidently access services while expanding access to digital, print, and online information services.
