Grant
funding is one way to find resources to support innovative programming
and services for children. In this webinar, the presenters share advice
about finding, writing, and submitting grant opportunities. Information
will also be shared about specific grants that focus on diversity,
literacy and libraries and are relevant for school and public libraries.
Participants will be provided with an opportunity to ask questions and
share related experiences. This webinar is presented in collaboration
with the Darden College of Education, Old Dominion University and made
possible through the LUCY (Librarianship Upgrades for Children and
Youth) grant from IMLS.
