The SALS Board of Trustees recognizes libraries in our region must keep up with change, incorporate new ideas and adapt both technology & space in order to provide and expand upon crucial library services. For this reason, the Board initiated a competitive grant program to help member libraries continue to innovate and better serve their communities.
