Grant centers
by Lois Keel 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

The no longer existent library, Macomb County Library, had a grant center for individuals to find foundations and grant information. Surely that isn't the only library to offer such a service to the public. I've a teenaged boy in Port Huron and a nursing home in Lansing that could each benefit from this. Of course, being in the Michigan Humanities Council's Arts and Humanities touring directory, I recommended the mini-grant program, but would like to recommend more than just that. The nursing home is for profit, but in neither case is it likely they'll pay for a membership to GrantWatch.com. This is a resource worth traveling to access and could also benefit librarians willing to check such resources at a nearby center, so it's worth listing for all here. I tried prowling MEL without success.

The synopsis includes the name and contact information for the person interviewed, the date and location of the interview, and a summary of what was discovered through the interview process, particularly noting how what was learned matched up with the "Abridged Outreach Plan" completed in the beginning of the course (for example, did you learn anything new about the Latino community, did you discover opportunities for short or long term partnerships, etc.). ◊ Participants submit a storytime plan by the end of the class. The template for creating this storytime plan is provided in Week 3. Ms Scherrer writes, “My career in libraries was largely focused on serving Latino and Spanish-speaking families, first at the Columbus Metropolitan Library (OH) and then at the Lexington Public Library (KY). I have been presenting bilingual storytime programs and early literacy workshops for Spanish-speaking parents since 2006. I have been an active member of Reforma (an ALA affiliate) since that time at both the local and national levels. I served as a member of the Pura Belpré committee, and the Reforma representative on the ALSC Great Websites for Kids committee. I began working independently in 2012, providing consulting services for libraries, online and in-person training, programs and performances and a variety of other projects that come my way.” This is an online course offered using the Moodle Platform.
