<p class="MsoNormal">The Library of Michigan is looking for grant reviewers for our Improving Access to Information Grant and our Collaborative Library Services Grant programs. Applications for both programs are due May 31st for projects that will begin October
1, 2020. Grant proposals are reviewed by the LSTA Advisory Council members and volunteer library community members as peer reviewers as well as Library of Michigan staff.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Our grant reviewers will read and score grant proposals in June and early July and meet in July to discuss the applications and make recommendations to the State Librarian. 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
