Putting Ideas into Action: A Diverse Panel on Creating Programs and Finding Ways to Fund Them

Abstract

Do you want to see increased turnout at your Library events and activities or perhaps revamp your library programming? Many libraries are trying to transform themselves in terms of community building and outreach however, they lack the resources and funding to do so. Learn and discuss with our panelists about finding sponsors/grants for your programs, matching institutional goals with sponsors, and conducting needs assessment and program evaluation. Find out what grantors look for in grant applications and how they implement the application processes. Take ideas from financial literacy, young adult and community college programming to adapt for your community.
