Dear Ms. Duong:

PRESERVING OUR HERITAGE. SHAPING OUR FUTURE

We are pleased to be able to provide your library with a California Library Literacy Services
(CLLS) literacy award for 2012/13 in the amount of $43,410.
As a reminder, our goals are:
• To use the reduced funding to ensure that our focus is on our core mission —Adult
Literacy.
• To simplify and mesh family literacy into the adult program reporting structure. (NOTE:
This allows local dollars spent on family literacy to be included in the "match" part of the
funding formula.)
You are required to spend a minimum of 80% of your total CLLS funding for the year on adult
literacy (and family literacy if you want that to be part of your program.) If you continue to
provide ELLI or MLLS services, you may spend the remaining 20% on these approved CLLS
ancillary programs, as long as you meet the Program Essentials for those programs.
Next Steps:
(1) Sign and return the attached Claim Form. We will initiate the payment process upon
receipt of your signed Claim Form (attached). You should receive a check for the
above amount within six weeks of submitting your claim form. All of these funds
must be expended or encumbered by June 30, 2013.
(2) Your revised budget will be due in December. My staff will notify you by e-mail
when the online system is available to submit it.
(3) As in the past, you will be asked to report electronically twice this fiscal year — once
in February, and again in August. Our staff will provide more details on this process.
