LTC: Accessible Small and Rural Communities

The American Library Association (ALA) invites applications from small and rural libraries for the second round of funding of the Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities<http://americanlibraryassociation.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMTMxMzk4MyZwPTEmdT0xMTE5ODYzNDc4JmxpPTEwNTU2MjIwMw/index.html> grant to increase the accessibility of facilities, services, and programs to better serve people with disabilities. Library workers may apply online for grant funding from September 11, 2023, to December 11, 2023, at ala.org/LTCAccess<http://americanlibraryassociation.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMTMxMzk4MyZwPTEmdT0xMTE5ODYzNDc4JmxpPTEwNTU2MjIwMg/index.html>. Up to 300 libraries will be awarded either $10,000 or $20,000 awards in this second application period, part of ALA’s longtime community engagement initiative.



To be eligible, a library must have a legal area population of 25,000 or less and be located at least five miles from an urbanized area, in keeping with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) definitions of small and rural libraries.

Grantees will first conduct community input-gathering sessions to assure that their work aligns with local needs. Libraries will be required to identify the primary audience they are hoping to reach (e.g., older adults with mobility disabilities, children with autism, Deaf community members) and facilitate a community conversation with the impacted populations in order to guide the improvement of the library’s services.
