Continuing Education Grants are offered to libraries throughout Idaho for the purpose of providing training, educational, and professional development opportunities to enhance the skills of the current library workforce and leadership. This advances the delivery of library and information services to Idahoans. Activities in the areas of first-time conference attendance, library science course enrollment, leadership development courses, and group training events are supported.

This final report collects contact information and narrative responses for each awarded grant. Financial information does not need to be included with this report, as it was provided in the Request for Reimbursement report. The report must be completed in one sitting and cannot be saved for completion at a later time. We suggest drafting responses in a separate document prior to completing the online form. The form should be signed and submitted with an electronic signature on or before six months following completion of the Continuing Education event.
