Tightening budgets and ever-shrinking sources for funding have made winning grants more important than ever before. But where should a library grant novice begin? Right here, of course. Herbert B. Landau, the author of The Small Public Library Survival Guide and an experienced marketer and manager, offers a practical and comprehensive manual that guides you through grant fundamentals. His game plan will help you
- Find relevant funders by analyzing eligibility criteria
- Write and prepare grant applications using the winning examples included, and evaluate outcomes to pave the way for success with future proposals
- Increase your chances for success by using additional tactics, such as pre- and post-submission marketing, to “sell” your institution to a funder
Whether you’re a newbie taking on the process for the first time or an experienced administrator looking to shore up finances, this book will help you find the dollars your library needs.

Reviews
"The book is well organized and contains enlightening sections on doing market analysis and finding grants and granting organizations ... Recommended."
--Booklist
"Landau presents
a game plan that serves as an excellent framework
for thinking about sources of grants, and winning
them ... This book can be read through for a framework
of the process, or easily dipped into for specific
information or inspiration. Doubling as a refresher
for experienced grant writers, this book will be
sought after and become well used, especially by
those who have written grant applications in the
past but who feel could or should have been more
effective and successful."
--The Australian Library Journal
"With its unassuming style, Winning Library Grants: A Game Plan provides a detailed blueprint of the grant writing process that even a novice can follow. ... the material included would be valuable to any librarian interested in learning more about grant writing and likely includes some new tricks for those who have already been through it. This would also be an excellent read for library school students looking for ways to make themselves more valuable after landing that first librarian job."
--Journal of Library Innovation
