Are you looking for programs and funds to help enhance library services? Have you always wanted to try grant writing but don’t know where to start? Are you encouraged (or expected) to write grants but daunted by the prospect?

This program, led by Julie Edwards, a librarian with a successful record of grant writing, will build your confidence with practical steps and strategies. Streamline and simplify the grant writing process in seven easy steps, build a grant writing toolkit to save time, and learn how to analyze projects for sustainability.

At the end of this program, you will be able to:

· Apply the seven steps of grant writing to your library
· Build a grant writing toolkit to streamline grant writing
· Identify challenges and issues of sustainability for individual projects
