Wonderful opportunity from Carnegie Corporation of New York! "Public library systems that have programs supporting English language proficiency and/or college readiness and access are invited to complete an eligibility survey by January 10, 2025."

As we carry on his legacy, we are offering $5 million in grants to public libraries nationwide to help them provide crucial services — like English language and youth programs — that make our communities stronger.

Thank you, Andrew Harbison, for your commitment to leading our work, identifying and sharing emerging and priority topics to keep public library staff aware, engaged, and prepared!
It's been over a year since I joined WebJunction and I've been continually inspired by the amazing work of public libraries. I've also reaffirmed the need for better preparing staff who are doing increasingly complex work during a time of disruption and turnover. I'm excited to share the first in a series of articles that highlights industry trends and WebJunction updates...
