[lstac] Grants

[Rachel Cook]

I have used some of the same places and I suggest these as well:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/LibraryGrants
http://www.ala.org/awardsgrants/awards/browse/grnt?showfilter=no
http://www.scholastic.com/librarians/programs/grants.htm (Especially for
school libraries.)
https://www.demco.com/goto?GRANTS
https://www.grants.gov/

I also frequently recommend the Walmart Community Foundation grant. It is
an easy grant and libraries are eligible. A lot of local banks in Utah also
offer grants each year that libraries can apply for.

I myself have a google alert set for "library grants" that has actually
delivered some great grant announcements I can send out. It is not always
helpful, but sometimes I find gems!

Hope that helps!

Thanks,
Rachel
