designed to reduce barriers to library services thus making services mare accessible and available.
Specifically, the grant provides assistance to communities in an effort to maintain, improve and enhance
local services to extend library services beyond legal jurisdictional boundaries. Through this program,
Texans who reside in communities that have a local participating public library are able to barrow
materials across the state without a direct cast to the individual. The City's non-resident fee will remain in
effect.

promote reading and literacy as well as support the strategic goals of the City of Fart Worth. Funds wil!
also be used to pumhase library resources such as TexShare database subscriptions and Spanish
language aaterials. Furthermore: #unds will be used to begin the process of updating the Lang Range
