(4) Describe how a supplemental grant would be used to improve the size or quality of its library resources.

Subsection (b) provides that the Commissioner shall approve applications for supplemental grants in accordance with basic criteria developed after consultation with an Advisory Council established under section 205 and prescribed in regulations.
