[Libs-Or] ALA Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant

[Ross Fuqua]

In addition to the facilitation skills training Danielle Jones just shared, ALA has also announced a grant opportunity to support library workers in community engagement.

From their press release:
The Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant will provide $2,000 for a school, public, academic, tribal or special library to expand its community engagement efforts. Libraries are invited to apply by designing and outlining activities for a library-led community engagement project.
