Alaska also provides grants for continuing education. It's a flat $1250 per person reimbursed after the event. The recipient has to submit a final report w/ receipts and an evaluation of what they learned. The most grumbling we get is from Alaskan libraries
over the award amount or the limited amount of awards. </div>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Michigan provides stipends for continuing education. We don’t reimburse for travel, but have a flat rate and we “pay” for an article or presentation they do when they return. The expectation
is that they will training on what they learned to colleagues in their library or libraries in their local area. We’ve been doing it for years and IMLS has not pushed back on it.</p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hello,</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I'm relatively new here at the Utah State Library and am wondering about the latest LSTA guidelines on travel for library conferences for subgrantees. It seems we've always used state
funds to award travel and training, vs LSTA. We're very much in the exploration stage at this point, and would appreciate experience and input. Could anyone please provide some details and a link or two?</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Specifically, the concept is for a grant in which funds would be for Utah tribal librarians/representatives (and possibly a state library representative) to attend an out of state conference,
which we would likely tie to a portion of the LSTA grant being for tribal library enhancement related to the conference. For example (completely made up numbers): $3,000 library enhancement project award plus associated travel to a conference of up to $2,000
for a total of $5,000 award...</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Thanks in advance,</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Melanie</p>
