ALA/Fetzer Institute's Building Common Ground: Discussions of Community, Civility and Compassion

Building Common Ground: Discussions of Community, Civility and Compassion
This collaboration between the American Library Association and the Fetzer Institute will engage the public in contemplation and discussion of the importance of community, civility and compassion in their daily lives. By bringing adult audiences together for programs and events that include reading, viewing, reflection, discussion and civic engagement initiatives, public libraries will enhance the quality of life and learning in their communities.
Thirty $2,500 programming grants will be awarded to public libraries in the United States following a competitive application process.

Libraries will be required to collaborate with at least one community organization with a scope of activity and interest in the same issues identified for the program series. All speakers and presenters must be confirmed at the time of proposal submission. Proposals without complete program dates and required attachments will not be considered.
