Grant funds are to be used in the areas of Workforce Development, Lifelong Learning, and/or Technology. Collaboration with other libraries is encouraged, but not necessary.
This grant is a onetime only grant, available to NFLS member libraries. Sustainability for any projects started with I&I grant funding should be considered and accounted for in the recipient library’s budget. Upon completion of the grant project, recipients will be required to give a brief report to the NFLS Advisory Committee of Librarians and work with NFLS on a short publicity presentation. Grant application forms are due June 3, 2019. WiscNet staff will be on the road through September at various locations in Wisconsin holding listening sessions on the topic of security. At each stop, a local WiscNet member will share what security means and looks like in their organization, where they’re at on their security journey, what problems they’re trying to solve, and what they still need to learn. This is your chance to hear from each other, to share what’s going on in your own worlds, and connect face-to-face with others in your community. WiscNet staff will be at the Brown County Library on Thursday, August 1, 2019.
