GMR Update

GMR NEWS
Update on Promotional/Educational Items
Recent government policies prohibit the use of federal monies for promotional/educational items. As a result, the Bright
Ideas Web site that was once used for ordering has been taken down. However, we have been informed that member libraries that are interested in purchasing materials with funds other than NN/LM funds may contact Charley Estrin from Bright Ideas directly (bicorpgift@aol.com and 410.356.3933). Those items still available for request by Network Members may be found on our Educational Material Order Form: http://nnlm.gov/gmr/member/materials/. For more information, see the
HHS Policy on the Use of Appropriated Funds for Promotional Items
