NLLN Governing Board has budgeted funds for cooperative projects undertaken by NLLN and/or NLLN member libraries. These projects must involve more than one type of library and can be done within a single community or across a larger region.
Are there cooperative projects in your community you'd like to try? Are you engaged in activities that provide service to a broader community? Let us know -- we're interested in helping.
Send us your proposal or contact Kathy Enger (kbenger@nlln.org ph: 800-450-1032) to discuss eligible projects.
