Commission authorizes up to $50,000 for Bucks for Books and $30,000 for Talking Book Service
Summary
The board authorized spending up to $50,000 from Idaho Lottery Commission funds for Bucks for Books and up to $30,000 from the LSIF for one‑time Talking Book Service expenses including replacement printers, grant support and advertising.
The Idaho Commission for Libraries asked the board for authority to expend funds from the Library Services Improvement Fund and Idaho Lottery Commission to continue the Bucks for Books partnership and to support the Talking Book Service (TBS). The board approved expenditures of up to $50,000 for Bucks for Books and up to $30,000 for one‑time TBS needs.
State Librarian Bailey‑White described the TBS uses for LSIF funds: replacement printers, partial funding for That All May Read grant applications, and advertising costs. The board’s motion specified spending would occur "upon receipt of funds from the Idaho Lottery Commission," and the motion carried unanimously.
