Guidelines for Summer Library Programming Grants
When funds for this purpose have been budgeted
by the Board of Trustees, the Outagamie Waupaca Library System (OWLS) will
make grants available to member libraries to help pay fees for entertainers
performing in special programs associated with the libraries' Summer Library
Programs.
- Any OWLS member library may apply for a
grant.
- Grants may be used to pay part or all
of the fee(s) charged by entertainers whose programs are part of
one or more libraries' Summer Library Program schedule. Fees may
include travel expenses.
- Priority will be given to projects sponsored
by and for more than one library and to projects in which the
library or libraries involved offer matching support (in money and/or in
kind). One library should be designated as the lead library in
group projects, i.e., the library with whom OWLS will communicate and
negotiate.
- No one library may apply, singly or
as a member of a group, for more than two grants.
- A maximum of $300
per performance will be granted unless special arrangements have been
made with the Director. If a group grant will exceed a total
of $800, the lead library should discuss this with the Director
as soon as possible.
- Applicants must submit a written application describing
the activity and expected fee(s) to OWLS on or before March 1st. Late applications will be considered until funds are exhausted.
- OWLS
Director will ordinarily evaluate each application
and determine awards. Grant awards will be announced by March
15th.
- The recipient of the grant or the lead
library in group grants is responsible for arranging
for payment from OWLS.
- An annual report on the disposition of Summer
Library Program grant funds shall be presented to the OWLS Board.
This report shall include a list of recipients, the activities supported,
and the amount of assistance received from OWLS.
