Libraries Transforming Communities is an initiative from the American Library Association (ALA) that seeks to strengthen libraries’ role as core community leaders and change agents. The initiative addresses a critical need within the library field by developing and distributing tools, resources, and support for library workers to engage with their communities in new ways.
Since 2022, Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities has been offering grants to small and rural libraries to increase the accessibility of facilities, services, and programs to better serve people with disabilities. 41 libraries across the state are recipients of this LTC grant. Congratulations to those New York Libraries!
