The purpose of these Continuing Education and Training grants is to assist Nebraska libraries to improve the library services provided to their communities through continuing education and training for their library personnel and supporters. Successful applications will show how the continuing education and/or training proposed will support the library’s mission.
Please note that if an entity, or a person working for that entity, has unresolved issues with any previous Commission grant projects, they will not be eligible to apply for a Continuing Education and Training Grant.
This project is supported by state funding appropriated by the Nebraska legislature, granted and administered by the Nebraska Library Commission.
