Professional Development Grants

The Professional Development Grant Program (PDGP) assists the staff of member libraries in their professional development by providing competitive financial aid. Grants enable staff to attend conferences, seminars, workshops and other educational activities sponsored by a professional association or organization, or non-matriculated college undergraduate and graduate coursework which might not be available locally and for which funds might not otherwise be available. Visit WNYLRC's PDGP web page for complete details, guidelines and forms:
