I have another question to pose to the seminar in the hopes
that someone either associated with the PUC/FCC or privy to
information about their rulemaking process can give a
definitive answer.

Recently Barbara Cole of the State Library of Pennsylvania
asked whether county law libraries would be entities
eligible for discounts under the USF.  The Montgomery County
Law Library is fully open to the public and is eligible to
apply for grants under the Library Services & Technology
Act, two criteria which seem to be key in determining
eligibility.  I need to work on educating county government
officials about this Universal Service Fund process.  If the
county law library will be eligible for discounts alongside
the public libraries, I would like to be able to convey this
information to county officials.  It might further motivate
them to work with me to fulfill application requirements.
Can someone tell us whether county law libraries are
eligible or not eligible?
