Continuing Education (CE) Grant Opportunities Expanded
RAILS is pleased to announce that grant opportunities to fund continuing education events are now open to RAILS libraries, networking groups, and library consortia. To qualify, CE events must be made available to all RAILS member libraries and be of interest to a wide range of library staff. Review the grant conditions on the RAILS website and complete the online application. The deadline for the next award period is March 31. Contact Joe Filapek, RAILS Director of Consulting and Continuing Education, with questions.
Multitype Collaborative Grants
