is the Youth Grants for Excellence Program?
The Nebraska Library Commission has made funding available specifically for innovative projects for children and young adults in public libraries. The program is designed to encourage creative thinking, risk-taking, and new approaches to address the problems and needs of children and young adults in your community. Grant awards enable youth librarians to begin needed programs and try projects which they have been unable to undertake. The grants also offer an opportunity to expand youth service capabilities in new and/or different directions. It is also expected that the funding will provide a foundation for ongoing rather than one-time services, which can be continued with community support or through a reallocation of library funds.
