Deadline: January 9, 2009
ICMA (http://www.icma.org/ ), the professional and educational organization for chief appointed managers, administrators, and assistants in cities, towns, counties, and regional entities, invites local governments to apply for an ICMA Public Library Innovation Grant.
The grants will focus on using the public library as a vital tool in addressing community priorities and issues, and will be anchored by a partnership between the office of the chief administrative officer (city, county, or town manager) and the public library.
The grant program will provide a series of leadership workshops and project coaching to ensure the short-term success of the project and secure support for the long-term use of libraries in addressing community goals.
Grant applications must be submitted by the local government manager's office or the highest appointed local government official with broad oversight of the local government. ICMA membership is not a requirement for the grant.
ICMA will provide eight to twelve grants ranging from $20,000 to $60,000 each. Grants are for a period of eighteen months.
Guidelines and application instructions are available at the ICMA Web site.

Word of the Day for Monday, December 29, 2008sacrilege \SAK-ruh-lij\, noun: an intentional injury to anything held sacred; disrespectful treatment of something sacred A big, catchy ad on Page One of the print edition would be considered sacrilege. The editorial staff wouldn't stand for it and anyone who bought it would come in for loud criticism from purist. San Francisco's Finest: In this town, it's sacrilege to attempt naming the "top" restaurant. c 1300, from Old French sacrilege, from Latin sacrilegium and sacrilegus "one who steals sacred things," from sacer "sacred" + legere "take, pick up." Transferred sense of "profanation of anything held sacred" is attested from 1390. | |||||||||

Word of the Day for Sunday, December 28, 2008ramble \RAM-buhl\, verb, noun: 1. to wander about As you ramble along them, it is difficult not to feel something of a peeping-tom; this is Surrey at its most intimate, with arches over garden gates framing views of tile-hanging and leaded lights. Pierce and Carmen were on a northward walk markedly better organized than our own: having rambled throughout Europe, they had entrusted a local company to plan their trip. c 1443, unknown origin, perhaps frequentative of romen "to walk, go" of via romblen "to ramble." The vowel change was probably influenced by Middle Dutch rammelen, a derivative of rammen "used of the night wanderings of the amorous cat." | |||||||||
