Help for grant writers available

The Library Commission has just added the 2012 edition of Annual Register of Grant Support: a Directory of Funding Sources, a guide  to more than 3,200 grant-giving organizations offering non-repayable support, to the Reference Collection.   Organized by 11 major subject areas, this resource directs searchers to traditional corporate, private, and public funding programs and to nontraditional grant sources such as educational associations and unions. For each grant program, information on eligibility requirements and restrictions, application procedures and deadlines, grant size or range, and contact information are included.
