Amplification: while the grant was $11,700, $365 went to the Star Wars Day event. See pages 34-35 of the report: http://goo.gl/UNjqx

.@TomCoburn We need strong library programs to engage youth outside of the mandatory curricula in schools. Don't cut library funding! @yalsa
@dinaschuldner thanks for your support of libraries and teens!
Library programs are not a waste. The Franking privilege is. Elite Congressional benefits are. @TomCoburn @YALSA #govtwaste #Wastebook2012
@ms_paugh thanks for supporting libraries!
