You Got the Grant - Now What? A Recipe for Grant Writing Success, Part 2

Originally presented on May 25, 2022, with Cricket LaFond presenting.

Following up on her March webinar in our fundraising series, Cricket LaFond will focus on what to do when you successfully get the grant you sought and will touch lightly on what to do if you don’t get the grant.

She will cover:
• Announcing the receipt of the grant
• Acknowledging the funder
• The money
• Fulfilling the grant requirements
• Working with your partner(s)
• What happens if disaster strikes

With 30+ years of fundraising experience, Cricket is director of the public library in Clear Lake (WI), population 1,093.

RA for All: Flip the Script and Think Like a Reader

Originally presented May 17, 2022, with Becky Spratford from RA for All presenting.

Readers Advisory belongs in every library, no matter its budget. The implementation of this vital service is the responsibility of every staff member-- from pages to directors, from those behind the scenes to the ones on the front lines. This program will remove the mystery behind providing great RA service. Using her “Ten Rules of Basic RA Service” as a guide, Becky Spratford will use your own love of your favorite books to show you how to help any patron find their next great read. It's not as hard as you think. But more importantly, you will learn why a staff that can harness the power of sharing a great read will become a stronger team and improve service to all patrons, especially the hardest to reach ones.

 

This program is presented in part by the Department of Public Instruction, with funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services in the form of a Professional Learning Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant.

 

The next webinar in this series, Booktalking Your Way to the Friendliest Library in Town, is on June 14 from 10:30 a.m. to noon and you can register here.
