MEMORANDUM
TO: Directors of Libraries Seeking CLLS Matching Fun
cc: Literacy Coordinators
FROM: AI Bennett, Literacy Specialist
DATE: October 11, 1995
SUBJECT: Plans of Service and Budgets for Fiscal Year 1995/96
I enclose a listing of public libraries, including yours, that have certified funds available
for the California Library Literacy Service (CLLS) in Fiscal Year 1995/96. The amount
eligible €or matching by the State and the resulting funds available for each local library
are listed.
Please complete a Plan of Service Abstract, Plan of Service and Budget page, using the
enclosed instructions and forms. There are changes in some instructions to make them
clearer.
Return the completed forms postmarked by November 10, 1995. We plan to send award
letters by November 22.
Although it is intended that you will be awarded the amount for which you are eligible,
your receipt of matching funds is contingent upon the State Library’s receiving a
satisfactory Plan of Service and Budget from your library.
Mail the completed documents in original plus two copies (three total), postmarked hy

The Statespatch this year is $1.00 for each $5.63 raised locally.
The State fiatch this year is based on $ 8,457,378 raised by local library literacy services,
a 5.5% $@&@! over last year. Unfortunately, we have not received an increase in matching
funds at"$E6"$bte level, but the strong commitment of local libraries to adult literacy
services @r&dks a good case for the legislature to increase its share.
Your matching funds grant is based on all the services supported by the funds you have
certified as eligible for matching. You are required to report on all the learners and tutors
supported by these funds. Timely submission of Quarterly Reports to the California State
Library is essential for us to be able to keep the California Library Services Board (CLSB)
and the Legislature accurately informed on the effectiveness of the California Literacy
Campaign.
Your certification is a commitment to expend at least the amount you have certified for
literacy, and that your fourth quarterly financial report must show that you have complied
with that commitment. In the event that you under expend the budget upon which the
matching funds are based you should be reserving a corresponding portion of the CLSA
matching funds for return to the state library.
Your full participation in the use of CALPEP is important. The new CALPEP software
is nearing completion. You should be doing initial CALPEP assessments soon after each
new adult learner begins, and again in December and June.

If you have questions, please call me at 916-653-7743; or fax to 916-653-8443.
Congratulations on your contribution to the development of this outstanding support for the
California Library Literacy Service!
