The Executive Director and/or Board Chair or designate are authorized to apply for grants, seek and accept sponsorships and/or donations on behalf of Northern Lights Library Systems (NLLS).
Public Library Services Branch (PLSB) Rural Services Grant
Northern Lights Library System (NLLS) will administer the distribution of the Rural Services Grant funds each year to those libraries without a library board, subject to provincial funding and availability.
Each year the Counties and M.D.s will give NLLS direction on percentage of disbursements to those with multiple libraries. An administration fee of 1% will be charged upon receipt of the Rural Services Grant from the Public Libraries Services Branch (PLSB) to compensate for the management of funds.
NLLS shall release and disburse the Rural Services Grant to libraries when it has been received. If the Rural Services Grant has not been received, NLLS shall disburse the equivalent of up to 50% of Rural Service Grant funds to libraries no later than August 31 of each year, providing NLLS funds are available.
