of Performance Partnership Pilots for Disconnected Youth (P3) grants from IMLS
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

FYI from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Libraries partnering to serve at-risk youth should consider applying for Round 3 of P3 grants. See below for more information. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk(a)michigan.gov<mailto:reishk@michigan.gov> Nourishing Michigan's Future...during school and during the summer! Find a Summer Food Service Program site nearest you and encourage Michigan's children to Meet Up and Eat Up! www.michigan.gov/meetupeatup<http://www.michigan.gov/meetupeatup> [image004] Sent: Friday, August 19, 2016 3:58 PM Subject: Libraries partnering to serve at-risk youth should consider applying for Round 3 of P3 Seven federal agencies, including IMLS, have announced the third round of Performance Partnership Pilots for Disconnected Youth (P3), with an application deadline of October 31, 2016. The estimated range of awards is $200,000 to $250,000, and the agencies will name up to 10 pilots to better serve youth between the ages of 16-24 who are low-income, homeless, in foster care, in the juvenile justice system, unemployed, not enrolled in school, or at risk of dropping out. P3 is a different kind of grant program. Group of partners that are already receiving federal funds from at least two of the participating agencies (ED, Labor, Justice, HHS, HUD, CNCS, and IMLS) apply together. They must request some level of flexibility around existing programmatic or reporting requirements related to those funds, in order to achieve larger gains for disconnected youth. Some examples of requested flexibility from Round 1 include certain Department of Labor grants, which specify that 75% of program funds must serve out-of-school youth, but partners wanted to serve disconnected youth in an integrated school-based model instead. Another example targeted certain Department of Education grants, which are specified for the higher grades, but might better serve older youth who are several years behind and only in 6th grade. A list of examples of eligible programs appears in the Grants.gov application package (URL below). Mandatory funds such as TANF, Medicaid, Social Security, Vocational Rehabilitation Services, and most Foster Care IV-E programs cannot be blended in a pilot, nor is there is authority to offer flexibilities for these programs under P3. These programs can, however, be "braided" to support a pilot. We know that state and public libraries are great partners in this kind of youth-serving work, and we would love to see more library representation in our P3 grantee pool. At present, Broward County in Florida and Ysleta del Sur Pueblo are the two examples of pilots using IMLS funds. If you or your subrecipients are interested, but not sure where to find other partners, you can check the URLs below for other federally-funded partners in your area. Note that the competition also includes separate categories of consideration for applicants that propose to serve disconnected youth in rural communities, in tribal communities, or in communities that recently have experienced civil unrest. A P3 webinar ("bidders conference") scheduled for next Thursday, August 25, 2016, from 2-3:30 p.m. Eastern Time, will cover application requirements and selection criteria. You can register in advance at the youth.gov/P3 site (URL below), and the recording will also be available later. We welcome you to forward this information to your partners and subrecipients and direct any questions to disconnectedyouth(a)ed.gov<mailto:disconnectedyouth@ed.gov>.

Policy/procedure question
by Nannette Miller 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Hi all, What is your policy and/or procedure if a patron calls a library board member with a complaint about the director? While it shouldn't make any difference as far as policy goes, this is a small town and everyone knows everyone. As always, thank you for sharing your collective wisdom!

While cleaning we found a partial box of unopened slip printer ribbons if anyone wants them. The label reads "Item # 7720 SLIP Printer Ribbon, Sagebrush Corporation Caledonia, MN 55921," and the handwritten note says they were for a "Citizens Slip Printer" that we no longer have. I can send via RIDES for anyone who's interested. Respond off-list with your RIDES code. Thanks!
