Calling all innovators in library education! RAILS is thrilled to launch our next grant initiative to empower RAILS member libraries through Continuing Education (CE) events. You can shape future professional development opportunities by applying for up to $2,000 in funding per grant to support impactful CE initiatives.
Grant Purpose: These grants are designed to foster the professional growth of library staff and trustees across RAILS member libraries. Whether you're passionate about advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility or have a compelling CE topic in mind, we encourage you to submit your innovative ideas!
Who Can Apply: We welcome applications from networking groups, consortia, and individual libraries within the RAILS community. To qualify, your CE event must be accessible to all RAILS member libraries.
Priority Topics: While we prioritize CE events centered around equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, we're open to applications covering topics that benefit our library communities.
Application Deadlines: Mark your calendars! There are two upcoming deadlines to submit your applications:
- October 1, 2024
- February 3, 2025
Don't miss your chance to make a difference in library education. Prepare your application today and join us in shaping the future of library services across RAILS member libraries!
