State Librarian's announcement:
From: Peggy D. RuddSubject: BTOP Award Announcement
Dear Colleagues:
Good news! The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has approved our Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) grant! The formal announcement will be made later today. Our Communications Office will issue a press release after the NTIA announcement. In addition, a press release template that you may use locally, should you wish to do so, will be available by the end of the week online and via email. More information will be coming from Chris Jowaisas.
We are so excited about this project and look forward to working with you to make it successful. Congratulations to all of you on your efforts to get us to this point. I know there’s more hard work ahead. But, for now, don’t think about that. Let’s celebrate!
Best regards,
Peggy
