OSOS No. I-8051 <br /> <br />need. The funding provided to subsidize the cost of services to LibTech par�cipants will con�nue for the <br />dura�on of the contract period with the service provider, including any extension period. The par�cipa�on <br />agreements that libraries sign to join the Program will run through the term of the WSL provider contracts. <br />Libraries may join the Program at any �me, subject to certain limita�ons and restric�ons that may exist in <br />the provider contracts or because of funding source requirements. For instance, LibTech internet access <br />and managed services commencement is coordinated with the E-rate program year funding cycles that <br />begin on July 1st of each year. Accordingly, libraries desiring to par�cipate in the Program will need to <br />engage WSL to plan and coordinate well ahead of July 1st of the applicable start year to ensure that E-rate <br />program applica�on and filing deadlines can be met. <br />WSL works with each library to evaluate its technology and financial needs and determine the Program <br />services. Once the library has signed the LibTech par�cipa�on agreement and the necessary equipment <br />has been installed, services may commence. WSL helps libraries through comple�on of each of these <br />steps and will be the first point of contact for any service issues that might arise during the contract period. <br />WSL is commited to the success and growth of the Program. It is con�nuing to pursue and develop <br />addi�onal funding sources for LibTech and is working to add more internal resources at WSL, with the goal <br />of expanding the Program to include more services and more par�cipants. WSL will advocate for libraries <br />with the State Legislature to expand the Program and ensure its long-term viability beyond 2028. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 29
