    Hi all,

    If you haven't heard already, round three of LTC: Accessible Small and Rural Communities applications are open now until December 11, 2024.

    Libraries selected for round three will receive $10,000 or $20,000 to support costs related to their community engagement project; virtual training to assist project directors in developing their community engagement, facilitation, and disability service skills; a suite of online resources developed to support local programs; and technical and project support from the ALA Public Programs Office throughout the grant term.

    Library workers may now apply online for funding from September 11, 2024, to December 11, 2024.

    Up to 300 libraries will be awarded in this application period. Previous awardees from round one and/or two are eligible to apply. Note that prioritization will be given to applicants not previously awarded.

    Interested applicants can register for a pre-application webinar on October 10, 2024 at 12:00 pm CST.

    Thanks!
