News Release
The Washington State Library and the library community are celebrating the approval of an $84 million grant award that will provide high-speed broadband Internet access to 57 public libraries where broadband connections are limited.
Staff at the Washington State Library (WSL) will host two sessions of a free online grant-writing workshop on January 27. The one-hour presentation with time following for questions will give attendees an insider’s look at several of our grant cycles, including Washington Rural Heritage, Supporting Student Success, and Hard Times.
