Library of Rhode Island (LORI) Grants provide opportunities for libraries, library consortia, or library serving organizations to execute forward-looking projects that support the advancement of library services in Rhode Island. Libraries or organizations are encouraged to submit proposals that expand access to library materials and services, feature new uses of technology, expand the use of library services or the role of the library in the community, or create more inclusive or accessible library services for all members of the community. Interested applicants are welcome to attend to ask questions about the program and projects. OLIS staff will be available to answer questions and assist libraries through the application process. Learn more at the 2021 OLIS LORI Grant page.

If any reasonable accommodation is needed to ensure equal access or participation, contact the Office of Library and Information Services at (401) 574-9300 not less than three (3) business days in advance of the meeting or program date. More advanced notice is highly advisable.
