Programs for Older Adults / Services to Persons with Disabilities
Description:
The Division of Library Development offers two kinds of programming grants for libraries:
Programs for Older Adults: these provide up to $5,000 to libraries to provide or enhance library programs, services, materials and collections (collection development projects without a strong program piece will not be considered.) to older adults who have difficulty accessing traditional library services or extend lifelong learning programs to older adults.
Services to Persons with Disabilities: these provide up to $5,000 to libraries to provide or enhance library programs, services, materials, collections, software, and/or equipment (projects lacking a strong program component will not be considered) to persons of all ages who have difficulty accessing traditional library services and their families and caregivers. The special needs addressed by these programs may be physical, developmental, emotional or learning disabilities. Grants may include (but are not limited to) the purchase of equipment and/or software that makes information content accessible to persons with disabilities. Library staff training in disability awareness and sensitivity is an important component of these grants.
Attending one informational grant-writing session is required in order for a library to submit an application in either category; one session covers both topical areas.
Presenter: Douglas Lord.
