<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings! (and please pardon the cross-postings!)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Are you a library serving a community of 25,000 or less? Are you always thinking about new ways to engage your community with your library's services? A big-picture thinker who can also manage
minute details and get people excited about long-term projects? Looking for an opportunity to reinvigorate your library space to support active learning in your community?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If this describes you, then
<a href="https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/smart-spaces-participant-overview.html">
check out this opportunity</a> from <a href="http://www.webjunction.org">WebJunction</a> and their partners at the
<a href="http://arsl.info/" target="_blank">Association for Rural and Small Libraries</a> to submit an application to the
<a href="http://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/smart-spaces.html">Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces</a> project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Fifteen small public libraries (serving communities with fewer than 25,000 people) will be selected to receive instructional and material support to engage their communities in a
space transformation process that supports active learning at the library. In addition to fostering local change and impact, these libraries and their experiences will influence knowledge and resources that will be shared with the public library field at large,
demonstrating the amazing leadership that exists within small libraries and their communities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Applications are being accepted through
