Calling all Librarians and Library Lovers!

Special request from Tamara Lee, MN State Librarian,
who spoke to our branch on April 16.

Grant Reviewers Needed!
Apply by May 17, 2024.

State Library Services is seeking grant reviewers for the 2024 Library Construction Grant program. This program will award $4,000,000 to new construction, renovations, and accessibility construction projects in Minnesota public libraries. Grant reviewers should have experience in libraries or have experience with ADA compliance in physical infrastructure. Grant reviewers independently read and score applications. An ideal reviewer pool will have a diverse array of library experience (rural, urban, special, tribal, law, public, etc.) OR experience with ADA compliance, so if you have any of this experience, please consider becoming a reviewer!

We anticipate that reviewers will review up to 5 applications each. There will be one pre-recorded webinar training about the process and one meeting to discuss reviews, scheduled with you. Reviewers will be assigned applications on May 23rd and have through end of the day June 10 to score.

If you are interested in reviewing, please contact Tami Lee at Minnesota State Library Services by Friday, May 17th.
