Please pardon the cross-posting.

Those whose library is within 50 miles of a Best Buy store or distribution center may be interested in the grant opportunity described below, especially since the grant website indicates that “eligible nonprofits may be a public or nonprofit community-based organization (for example, community center, school or library).”
