federation projects that maintain or improve cooperative library services and
activities; or

may also allocate base grants to public libraries to support the cooperative
activities and services of the federation.
(i) The federation shall direct these grants
to meet the following objectives:

local bibliographical information. Libraries may purchase subscriptions to
bibliographic databases, add and maintain holdings in these databases, and
purchase the necessary equipment and software;

in the federation or state. Libraries may use base grants to promote or market
libraries through a group project involving more than one library in the
federation;

Libraries may use base grants to support education opportunities and to share
this education with other federation members; or
