Opportunities

Through resources, ideas, and professional development opportunities, we seek to help libraries fill their role as cultural and civic hubs in their communities.

Grants

The ALA Public Programs Office empowers libraries to create vibrant hubs of learning, conversation and connection in communities of all types. 

Our staff works to create nationwide programming opportunities, grants and traveling exhibitions for U.S. libraries. Interested in hosting a PPO program or exhibition in your library? Sign up for our newsletter.
