Program Outline

• All the libraries in the Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES School Library System (SLS) are eligible to participate in the CCD plan.
• Funding will be provided by the participating school districts. (They may use a Co-ser option)
• Participating schools agree to circulate the CCD materials to other schools under the School Library System’s ILL Policy.
• The SLS will provide incentive grants to CCD participants if state aid is available.

Goals

• Cooperatively plan and purchase specialized materials.
• Expend funds in a cost-effective manner.
