Grant Opportunity for Rural, Public Libraries

Librarians/library workers that work in the following context are encouraged to apply:

Public libraries in rural communities in the United States and its territories are eligible.
- For the purposes of this project, rural libraries are defined as those serving communities of under 25,000, and significant Latino population as a percentage greater than the 9% national average for rural America (USDA Rural America at a Glance, 2018 Edition).
Libraries that serve significant Latino populations are strongly encouraged to apply.
- The project team uses the term “Latino” but acknowledges that communities and individuals may identify as Latino/a/x, Hispanic, Chicano/a, or a variety of other terms. Eligibility will be determined through the Notice of Intent process, based on community characteristics and library capacity.

Here is an upcoming webinar that will walk you through the two-step application process for STAR Net STEAM Equity Project.
