Funding will be from $500 to $2,000. Funding is by reimbursement. The application deadline is May 22, 2017.

Hi all! I have another question for the collective Mind. Who have you used when you needed to move your collection to another part of your building or to another site? Do you use a moving company or do you do it all inhouse? Linda Lyshol, MLIS, MPA Library Director Branch District Library 10 E.
