Hi, Everyone,

 

I’m forwarding the information below as an FYI.

 

I also wanted to share this information as well:

 

NJSL CARES Act Mini-Grant Awardees Announced

 

The State Library’s CARES Act mini-grants for public libraries program is an initiative that fulfills the intent of the federal CARES Act. It supports the role of public libraries in responding to the coronavirus pandemic by improving access to technology for library patrons. The public libraries in New Jersey who have been awarded these mini-grants were just announced!

 

The CARES Act mini-grants program represents the last portion of the $802,581 in CARES Act funding awarded from IMLS.

The Homeless Training Institute is now available to all NJ library staff statewide!

 

This is an online training program designed to equip library staff with the tools that they need to serve their community’s homeless population with compassion and confidence.

 

Created by Ryan Dowd, author of the American Library Association (ALA) book, Librarian’s Guide to Homelessness, the series will teach practical skills to navigate a wide range of issues facing homeless individuals, including mental health awareness. The course will guide library staff on how to ensure the safety and comfort of all library visitors.

 

The State Library is able to make this training available to all library staff members throughout New Jersey through ARPA funding. We encourage you to participate in this webinar-based training at no cost to you!
