2026 Library Services Grants​


Nicolet provides Library Services Grants (formerly Collection Development Grants) to libraries in member counties as partial compensation for their willingness to provide reciprocal library services to other residents of the System on the same basis as they are available to residents of the library's home municipality.

Please note the scope of the grant was broadened to include the following:
  1. Library Services Grant funds may be used for the purchase of the following:
        a. Library materials such as books, DVDs, audiobooks, digital 
            audiobooks (ex: Playaways), eBooks, compact discs, computer
            software,  microform materials such as local, state or national
            newspapers or backfiles of periodicals, etc.;
        b. Library materials or supplies to support large-scale library events
            and/or programming;
        c. Library materials or supplies to support archival efforts or complete
            archival projects;
        d. Materials, supplies, software, or hardware which will be used to
            implement projects that address priorities identified in the library’s 
            strategic plan; and
        e. Other library-related materials or services as approved by the Nicolet
            director.

To receive a grant, the library must:
  1. Read the Library Services Grant Policy,​​​
  2. Download and complete the latest Library Services Grant Application, and
  3. Email completed forms to Hannah Good Zima by Monday, March 16, 2026.
  4. The Grant Applications will be reviewed and approved by the Nicolet Grant Committee and Board in April 2026. Libraries will be notified of their awards at that time.
