Samples of Grant policies?
by bellairelibrary＠torchlake.com 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Bellaire Public Library's board of trustees would like me to gather any policies libraries may have that address the search, application, and other processes involved in grants for public libraries. They are particularly interested in how other library boards approve applying for a grant and how library staff is required to update boards on grant administration and communicate to the board any financial obligations. Any policy sample would be greatly appreciated! -- Cindi L. Place, MLIS Director, Bellaire Public Library bellairelibrary(a)torchlake.com 231-533-8814
