Through the support of Penguin Random House, this Association of Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) grant opportunity is for small and rural public, school, and tribal libraries nationwide. Up to 25 $1,000 grants may be awarded. ARSL membership is not required to participate.
Applicants may request either:
A monetary grant in support of a community-oriented project for up to $1,000.
or
A book donation grant of up to $1,000 to support a circulating collection in your library.
The program will award grants to libraries that demonstrate a true need. Monetary grants are not limited to literacy and may be used for everything from library programming and books to resources like hotspots that help community members access important information. Library seeking support for digital collections should request a monetary grant.
The Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) defines a rural community as one that is more than, or equal to, five miles from an urbanized area (defined as a town/city with a population of 25,000 or greater) and small communities to have a population of 25,000 or less. This round of grant funding is available to libraries that meet both of these parameters. 501(c)3 status is not a requirement for eligibility.
