For those with BC Public Libraries

The 6 library federations serving British Columbia are pleased to offer a bursary to facilitate the participation of a staff member from a small, rural BC public library in LLEAD.  This bursary is intended to address barriers that exist, whether they be related to funding, staffing, or technology, at small public libraries across the province.  The bursary may be used to offset program fees, replacement staff (including secondments), travel or other approved costs. Libraries in communities with a population of less than 40,000 may apply for the Public Library Interlink bursary.

Deadline is August 1, 2023.

 

This support is made possible with funding from the Covid Relief and Recovery grant program.  We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.
