<p class="MsoNormal">The Library of Michigan is looking for grant reviewers for our Improving Access to Information Grant program and our Collaborative Library Services grant program. Both programs have applications due May 31st for projects that will begin
October 1, 2019. Grant proposals are reviewed by the LSTA Advisory Council members as peer reviewers as well as Library of Michigan staff. We would like to have additional peer reviewers participate in the review process.<br>
<br>
Our grant reviewers will review grant proposals in June and early July and meet in July to discuss the applications. If you are selected as a reviewer, we will provide training on the grant program priorities and our online grant review site. Peer reviews of
our grant applications are a vital part of our program. If you are interested, you can find descriptions of the grant programs at
