I want to make sure you are aware that this bullet aid grant will be separate from your regular state funding, and that your library system will distribute these funds to you, hopefully within the next few months. In addition to the Bullet Aid I secured, I was able to help obtain $95.6 million in Library funding in this year's state budget, as well as $24 million for Library Construction Aid (a $5 million increase from last year). As a member of the Senate Select Committee on Libraries, I will continue to fight for ad4itional fonding, as I know there is always a need for resources. As you are well aware, libraries play an integral role in our communities' quality of life, and our efforts to ensure that citizens have the tools they need to strive for success. On behalf of the 4~ Senate District, I would -like to personally thank you for your bar~ :work and your continued dedication to promoting literacy and a lifelong love of.reading and learning. Best wishes for a safe and happy Summer. ~cerely, '---- c.~==2::-i. (Ul;;~ Senator James N. Tedisco Sen~torial Di~ct tedisco@nysenate.gov Website: 7

Schenectady, NY June 26, 2017 Dear Director Bradley: I am pleased to inform you that I have been able to obtain a "bullet aid" grant for your library. The grant is for $12,000, which shall be divided evenly between the Rotterdam Branch and the Quaker Street Branch. There is no guarantee from year to year that these types of grants will be available, so I was pleased to be able to obtain this funding. I know that these grants can be very helpful to our llbraries. This bullet aid grant is separate from your regular State funding. Your library system will be distributing these funds to you, hopefully within the next couple of months. As you probably know, this year's State B~dget included $95 million in funding for public libraries. The Senate was successful in restoring $4 million in funding cuts that had been proposed in the Governor's original budget. The budget also included $24 million In capital funding for library improvement projects and facility upgrades. I will continue to seek additional increases in library funding in future budgets. I appreciate all that your library does for the community. Please feel free to contact my office or myself at any time. Sincerely, ~Of::A George Am.edore State Senator 8
