Explanatory Notes The New York State Library prepared the library aid charts in this document in order to project estimated aid payments of 2006-2007 State aid for libraries. The 2006-2007 State budget provides that each library aid recipient will be funded based on the formulas in Education Law with a hold harmless provision, such that no library, library system or library program will receive less State aid than it received in 2001-2002. In addition to the amounts provided by law and the hold harmless provisions, the 2006-2007 State budget also appropriated one-time supplementary formula funding for library systems for 2006-2007, which is displayed in a separate column. Library aid is allocated based on formulas in Education Law. Some aid formulas include per capita or per student factors. The 2006-2007 Education Law amounts are based on the 2000 decennial census. As a result, the 2006-2007 Education Law amount may vary from what would be anticipated based on last year's figures. These library aid charts include the $350,000 directly appropriated to the four SUNY Centers for the conservation/preservation of library materials program in addition to funds directly appropriated to the State Education Department. These library aid charts do not include the appropriations for The New York Public Library to provide services to the students of the City University of New York ($1.7 million) and for the NYPL Science, Industry and Business Library ($850,000). These charts also do not include the $14 million in Capital Funds appropriated for public library construction for 2006-2007. Updated June 21, 2006
