The Tocker Foundation is dedicated to the support of rural, public libraries in Texas serving populations of 12,000 or less. The Foundation's biannual General Library Grant program focuses on enhancing public library services. Past grants have supported collection
development, technology and equipment upgrades, new programming, and other projects initiated by the community's patrons. The Transformation Grant program helps libraries rethink and recreate space for today’s uses by pairing the library’s staff and leadership
with an architect. Interested applicants for both programs must first contact the Foundation staff. (Automation Grant and Newspaper Digitization Grant applications are accepted throughout the year.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
