Current Actions: The Applying
Promising Practices for Small and Rural
Libraries (APP) program is a special
initiative, funded through the IMLS
Office of Library Services. The goal of
this initiative is to support projects that
strengthen the ability of small and rural
libraries and archives to serve their
communities in the areas of digital
inclusion, community memory, and
school library practice.
The agency seeks to undertake a
systematic assessment to better
understand the methods for building the
capacity of these small and rural
libraries and archives to serve their
communities. The proposed evaluation
approach is intended to provide a
reasonable balance between scientific
considerations for valid and reliable
evidence and stakeholder utilization of
the acquired knowledge. This
investigation is intended to inform
IMLS decision-making for current and
future grant-making in this grant
program, as well as practices in this
segment of the library sector.
This action is to seek approval for the
information collection for the
Evaluation and Learning for IMLS’s
Applying Promising Practices for Small
and Rural Libraries (APP) program for
the next three years.
