Dear Assistant Library Director Amy Harpster:

We are pleased to approve the grant application for the LATL Summer 2026 project for a total of $10,689 in state grant funds. Orange Public Library will receive $10,689 of the award upon execution and approval of the grant agreement, certification, and claim forms.

This grant is governed by the attached Grant Agreement and Certification of Compliance, which includes the project period, reporting requirements, and payment schedule. Your approved budget is attached and can also be found in our grant management system. Login to view and manage your grant here: www.gotomygrants.com.

Please sign the claim and certification forms at the back of your award packet using the DocuSign system. Should you have any questions regarding the use of DocuSign please contact your grant monitor.

Upon receipt of a completed claim form that is free of errors or inaccurate information, the State Library processes it for routing to the Office of the State Controller which ultimately issues the check. The total time for the claim form to be processed, routed, payment issued, and mailed can be up to eight weeks, but is often a shorter timeframe. If you still have not received payment after eight weeks, please contact your grant monitor.
