Hi All,
Got an idea for a new library program but need a little money to get it started? Want to expand a service to a new target audience? Partner on a community outreach project? Attend an out-of-state workshop to learn about other librarians' innovative ideas and best practices?  The Maine State Library can help.  We are offering another round of MPLF grants with the monies collected from the Maine Public Library Fund (income tax check-off).  Applications are now being accepted for grants of $500 to $5000. The deadline to submit applications for our fall 2017 grants is November 10.
