Programming Librarian

By knowing their people, empowering staff and building strong partnerships, the Gail Borden Public Library turns every exhibit into a shared experience of learning and connection.

The seventh annual community engagement grant will support two library projects under the concept of "Libraries as a Lifeline: Building Belonging for All.”

The Peggy Barber Tribute Grant will provide $2,500 to three libraries to support programming related to strengthening community ties through libraries as third spaces.

12 public libraries will be selected to receive a resource package and hands-on support to strengthen their online health literacy offerings. Apply by January 7, 2026.
