The Network also provides Professional Development Grants for the purpose of assisting the staff of member libraries in their professional development. Financial aid from this program enables staff to attend conferences, seminars, workshops and other educational activities which are not available locally and for which funds might not otherwise be available. Eligible activities do not need to be sponsored by a library or library organizations.

The program is available to all staff of NNY Library Network's member organizations. Eligible events include conferences, seminars, workshops, graduate coursework in library and information science, undergraduate coursework in a work related field and other opportunities.

Applications for funds will be accepted at any time. They will be reviewed and awards will be made on a bimonthly basis. Applications must be submitted in time to be considered and a response received before the event takes place.

The application form is available here.
