The type, number, and size of grants are determined annually by the Executive Board. Current Grants Committee members are not eligible. Incomplete applications and those postmarked after the published deadline will be ineligible for consideration. All funds awarded must be used for the designated grant.
Grants are non-transferable.
Also with 30 days of returning from the respective annual meeting, the award recipient shall forward to the grants Committee receipts documenting attendance and expenses. A member may not receive more than one grant in a three-year period. A library may not have employees receiving grants two years in succession. In addition, a member may apply for more than one type of grant, but can receive only one. In the event there are no applicants for a designated grant, the unused allocated funds shall be returned for disbursement at the discretion of the Executive Board and Grants Committee.
