NOTICE:
After careful consideration, PLAN’s Board of Directors and its organizational staff have decided to discontinue the Innovation Projects service. Existing Projects will be completed, as scheduled. New applications will not be accepted.
The funding for this service has been provided through a grant from the State of Florida. The increased staff time needed to administer this service, the increased tracking and reporting now required for grant expenditures, and the liability issues related to providing grant funds to third parties, have combined to make the service untenable.
The funding formerly used to provide this service will be redirected for supporting other services that PLAN provides to its member libraries.
Completion Timeline for existing projects:
- A written report must be submitted by August 31.
- Recipients will share information about their project by presenting at a PLAN conference (breakout session, lightning round, or poster session), conducting a PLAN webinar, or writing a blog post for the PLAN website.
