The last week has really been busy with all the new programs and getting ready for future ones. We're trying to get a grant from the American Library Association for video gaming at the library, and getting all the paperwork involved is a lot of work! I called a library that had been awarded an LSTA grant from the State of Illinois, and the children's librarian there was wonderful! Magi Henderson at Glen Carbon Public Library was very helpful and encouraging; she gave a lot of insight into what needs to be done to make video gaming at the library work. Great practical ideas come from libraries that have this program under their belt. Thanks so much, Magi!
I looked into what other libraries have tried from their websites, and I am so impressed with what is out there! If anyone ever needs the information to write a grant, it's all available for anyone who is willing to look. I didn't have to look too hard to find what I needed. Thanks to all the librarians out there for all their work in detailing their "best practices!"
