Hi All, Just a reminder: applications for the Spring 2021 MPLF Grants are due by 5:00 p.m. on March 26. These grants are for Maine public libraries that want to try innovative programming or expand programs to an underserved group. Grants range from $500 to $5000. See all eligibility details and the link to the online application form at https://www.maine.gov/msl/libs/admin/funding/MPLF.shtml .

Submit your grant application at https://form.jotform.com/deborahclark/mainepubliclibraryfund . (The form cannot be saved so it is recommended you prepare your question responses ahead of time and paste in all your answers when you are ready to submit the application form.)

There is a webcast on writing a strong MPLF grant application here https://my.nicheacademy.com/mslstaff/course/16812<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmy.nicheacademy.com%2Fmslstaff%2Fcourse%2F16812&data=02%7C01%7CDeborah.Clark%40maine.gov%7C9e19d88c4bb8434bf53908d86607f865%7C413fa8ab207d4b629bcdea1a8f2f864e%7C0%7C0%7C637371531697004543&sdata=4AHRg8O4StFRjbX%2Fdvq4%2FORwX452BZy3ZB0Gy%2Bml1cE%3D&reserved=0> and I am available to answer any questions you might have about MPLF grants.
