Congratulations to the libraries who recently received RAILS Catalog Membership Grants!

• Marengo-Union Public Library District, $7,435 to join PrairieCat
• Regional Center for Change (a new RAILS member), $7,140 to join RRLC

This grant is intended to increase membership in RAILS' Local Library System Automation Programs (LLSAPs) by funding startup costs for any RAILS member library that is not currently an LLSAP member.

Grants will be available again in FY 2022. Go to the RAILS website's Catalog Membership Grant page for information on eligibility criteria, grant priorities, an application checklist, and other information. Questions? Contact Anne Slaughter, RAILS Director of Technology Services, 630.734.5127.
