We are working on funding an expansion project and would like to use an USDA loan for half and are looking for options to fund the other half. As we know, construction grants for libraries are few and far between, so I'd love to hear if anyone has had success in finding/working with large donors or other fundraising initiatives? Thank you so much!</div><div><br></div><div class="zmail_signature_below"><div id="" data-zbluepencil-ignore="true" data-sigid="5515617000000008041"><div><span class="size" style="font-size:18.6667px"><b><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(51, 0, 102)"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Cierra Bakovka, MLIS </span></span></b></span><b><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(51, 0, 102)"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </span></span></b><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(51, 0, 102)"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </span></span><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(119, 0, 255)"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </span></span><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> <br></span></div><div><span class="size" style="font-size:13.3333px"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif">She/Her</span><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div><i><span class="size" style="font-size:13.3333px"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Director</span></span></i><span class="size" style="font-size:13.3333px"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div><span class="size" style="font-size:13.3333px"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Henika District Library</span></span><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span class="size" style="font-size:10.6667px"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif">149 South Main St.</span><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div><span class="size" style="font-size:10.6667px"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Wayland, MI 49348</span><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div><span class="size" style="font-size:10.6667px"><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif">269-792-2891 ext. 309</span><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span class="size" style="font-size:10.6667px"><a target="_blank" href="mailto:cierra@henikalibrary.org">cierra@henikalibrary.org</a> </span></span><br></div><div><img src="cid:0.28869236100.4528814717047034741.18dd1eb8907__inline__img__src" width="150" height="140" style=""><br><br></div></div></div><div><br></div></div><br></body></html>
