This section has suggestions from library grant gurus Stephanie Gerding and Pamela MacKellar on useful and practical resources to consider when looking for and applying for grants. You can also learn how to make the most of any grant opportunity by reading best practices from other libraries. Be sure to watch their Library Grants Blog for the latest opportunities!
