This is indeed very concerning. Suzanne Walker Director - Indiana Center for the Book Indiana Young Readers Center Librarian Indiana State Library 140 N.

I raised this concern via email with Dawn (and copied John) but her response leads me to think it isn’t open to discussion. Without asking us (or even telling us before we committed to the program) LC appears to have decided we can fund LAL ourselves and be reimbursed later. --Mary ______________________________________________ Mary A.

I was informed that I will invoice them AFTER April 12. I'm concerned about how this will work. We give Amazon gift cards from the money we received. We are not permitted to purchase them until after we get our money. Last year we received our money in February, which allowed us time to do this. If we can't even invoice until mid-April, those kids are going to be waiting a while. Is anyone else going to be up against this if they don't allow us to invoice until then? For those of you who incur promotion expenses, will this be a problem for you?
