WILS

Wisconsin Library Services, Inc. (WiLS) will serve as a mentor organization for a cohort of 10 Accelerating Promising Practices for Small Libraries (APP) Community Memory grantees from small and/or rural libraries, helping to build capacity among grantees and their institutions by developing a community of practice and providing training, coaching, and other services and support. WiLS will leverage its institutional capacity, subject matter expertise, understanding of varying practice needs, and professional networks to facilitate cohort learning and support individual grantees in meeting the goals of their projects. The project is a component of the APP Initiative to support projects that strengthen the ability of small and rural libraries and archives to serve their communities.
