Hi all, as the March 26th deadline approaches, here's a thought for your library to consider a grant for: Circulating Tech Kits to Teachers!  Check it out: http://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/2018/02/circulating-tech-kits-teachers/
For grant details, see Karren Reish's email below.

Think Summer Reading, Tech, Literacy, etc!  A great opportunity to secure funding for that project you've been stewing on...

Subject: [Michlib-l] Library of Michigan LSTA Public Library Services Grant 2018 application is open!

The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce the second year of the Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) summer quick grant program for public libraries. The application deadline is Monday, March 26th at 5:00 PM EST.

This program provides funding for public libraries to develop a summer program and purchase materials and supplies for that program. There are three selected program topics - technology, children & teens and literacy. Funding is intended to supplement local services. The grant review will focus on small projects that improve community services and are aligned with the LSTA priorities. The LSTA priorities are for targeting library services to individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, to individuals with disabilities, individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills and expanding services for learning and access to information.

The grant period is from June to August 2018. Grants will be from $500 to $2,000. Funding is by reimbursement. Eligible applicants are Michigan public libraries that are legally established and currently eligible for state aid. Branch libraries may apply individually.

Detailed information on the grant program, including the program timeline,  applicant eligibility, and the APPLICATION LINK is available at www.michigan.gov/lsta<http://www.michigan.gov/lsta> in the Public Library Services grant section.

Please read the Program Application Information<http://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/lm_LSTA_2017_Small_Grant_-_Application_Packet_556852_7.pdf> before applying.
