GRANT LIBRARY RESOURCE CENTER
The Crookston Public Library is one of four regional libraries to house a new Grant Library Resource Center. A grant from the Northwest Minnesota Initiative Fund supported the creation of this resource, and now they are offering training workshops in its use. If you have an interest in securing sponsored funding or if you have a specific project in mind but don’t know where to start looking for support, you’ll want to mark these workshops on your calendars.

Session I & II, Friday, April 18, 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

• "Identifying Federal Funding Opportunities"
• "Identifying State Funding Opportunities"

Session III & IV, Friday, May 16, 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

• "Identifying Foundation and Corporation Funding Opportunities"
• "Innovations in Grantseeking"

Both sessions will be held at the Crookston Public Library. Contact Sister Laurian Lasha for more information (281-4522). Photocopies of the announcement are available from Richard Nelson (rnelson, ext. 8100).
