It's a good thing that we knew how to do sub grants when the
ARPA funds came through because we were able to distribute funds
to all the public and tribal libraries so that they could do
what they wanted to do to be specific to their community
needs.
But we also did the statewide opportunities.
So e-book distributions, two person privacy rooms, preloaded
tablets, steam materials and other opportunities like that.
In the Eloy, they lost power for several days, so people had no
electricity and the library there had used ARPA funds to
purchase a solar charging station.
And people lined up for hours.
So I thought that was a telling example of using ARPA in sort of
an infrastructure way.
