GRANT CYCLE OPENS – TLA50 INITIATIVE The Transforming Life After 50 (TLA50) initiative is designed to help libraries better serve and engage midlife adults by positioning libraries as catalysts, resources, meeting places, and partners in creating opportunities for midlife adults to learn, teach, lead, build skills, prepare for new careers, and become civically-engaged. Academic, public, and tribal libraries that serve adults over the age of 50 are eligible to apply. A minimum of five grants of $3,000 - $5,000 each will be awarded, representing a total of $25,000 in LSTA funds that are available for this initiative. The deadline to apply is Friday, September 2, 2011. More details may be found at www.sos.wa.gov/quicklinks/grants.
