The Division of Library Development, New York State Library, New York State Education Department prepared these library aid charts in order to project estimated aid payments of 2002-2003 State aid for libraries.
Due to special provisions in the 2002-2003 State budget passed by the Governor and Legislature, the allocation of library aid for 2002-2003 is the same as for 2001-2002. No library or program will be allocated less library aid in 2002-2003 than the amount allocated in 2001-2002.
Library aid is allocated based on formulas in Education Law with the exception of the interinstitutional (county jail) program which is an annual $175,000 appropriation. Some aid formulas include per capita or per student factors. The 2002-2003 Education Law amounts are based on the 2000 decennial census. As a result, the 2002-2003 Education Law amount may vary from what would be anticipated based on last year's figures.
The amounts in these charts do not include the $2 million proposed by the Governor for The New York Public Library services to the City University of New York or $1 million for NYPL's Science, Industry and Business Library.
