Amy Jo Ellefson, Adult Programs Coordinator, Baright Public Library, Ralston, NE (Population served: 6,494)
This session begins by answering questions about the potential benefits of arts programming in libraries and ends with a full description of how the Baright Public Library applied for, received, and used a grant to provide arts programming in partnership with a local writer and artist. Information about finding an artist for your library community, accessing grant funding, and using census data to complete grant applications will be sprinkled throughout the session. Questions are encouraged!
