ALA invites applications from small and rural libraries for the Libraries Transforming Communities (LTC): Accessible Small and Rural Communities grant.

Library workers may apply online for grant funding from September 11, 2023, to December 11, 2023, at ala.org/LTCAccess.<https://www.ala.org/tools/librariestransform/libraries-transforming-communities/access>

Up to 300 libraries will be awarded in this second application period, part of ALA's longtime community engagement initiative.

Libraries selected for round two 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. See full project guidelines: https://www.ala.org/tools/librariestransform/libraries-transforming-communities/access/guidelines

The opportunity is open to libraries serving small and rural communities in the U.S. and U.S. territories. To be eligible, a library must be located in an area that's more than, or equal to, five miles from an urbanized area and with a population of 25,000 or less, in keeping with Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) definitions of small and rural libraries. Previous awardees are eligible to apply. Note that prioritization will be given to applicants not previously awarded.
