ALA invites library workers to apply for the Libraries Transform
Communities Engagement Grant <https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/LTCEG>,
an annual award supporting innovative and meaningful community engagement
efforts in libraries.

Applications will be accepted until February 1, 2022. View the full award
guidelines and apply online at www.ala.org/LTCEG
<https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/LTCEG>

The Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant recognizes, promotes
and supports innovative and meaningful community engagement efforts in
libraries. It will provide two grants of $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. Community engagement is the
process of working collaboratively with community members – be they library
patrons, residents, faculty, students, or local organizations – to address
issues for the betterment of the community.

Each year, the grant will focus on supporting a community engagement
project with a specific theme. For the 2021–2022 cycle, libraries are
invited to submit applications for a community engagement project that
focuses on a social justice issue of importance in their communities.
Examples of potential topics include racial justice, climate justice, or
addressing the digital divide. Libraries should work collaboratively with
community members and at least one partner organization to develop a
project that addresses a local issue and builds upon community assets.

 Visit the grant guidelines
<https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/LTCEG/guidelines> for more
information.

Project activities to be covered by the grant may include developing
community engagement programs and services; partnering with a community
agency that builds the capacity of the community to address an important
concern/issue; or creating a program or event that connects the library to
a community-identified aspiration or concern.
