SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 



I. Background



    The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source 

of federal support for the nation's libraries and museums. We advance, 

support, and empower America's museums, libraries, and related 

organizations through grant making, research, and policy development.

transform the lives of individuals and communities. To learn more,

II. Current Actions



    The goal of the IMLS initiative Accelerating Promising Practices 

for Small Libraries (APP) is to support projects that strengthen the 

ability of small and rural libraries and archives to serve their 

communities. IMLS invites applications that focus on transforming 

school library practice, community memory, or digital inclusion, and 

are clearly linked to an individual institution's broader community 

needs. IMLS Accelerating Promising Practices for Small Libraries (APPL) 

is being offered as a special initiative with funding from the National 

Leadership Grants for Libraries Program. This action is to create the 

forms and instructions for this initiative as a Notice of Funding 

Opportunity for the next three years.
