Sustainability
Many libraries are designing comprehensive sustainability plans to help continue - or grow - the resources provided under the BTOP grant. This may include raising funds to replace and upgrade hardware, filing for E-rate support, or justifying the need for additional library staff to provide digital literacy training and support for their patrons.
Resources, hand-outs, archived webinars, and useful websites relating to sustainability will be posted to this page. Below is a list of topics that will be included.
- Best Practices
- Fundraising
- Purchasing
- Personnel
- Community Outreach
- E-rate
