Hi Samantha:
Do have thoughts on the answer to your question: What is librarian's role in securing and utilizing funds to find common ground in shared facts?
I believe in the library activist, and part of that is "knowing where the money comes from", how it's managed and the empowerment that comes with being an active part of that conversation.
Most libraries are happy to have grant funding. It helps shift priorities, draws attention and instigates the dedication of staff time.
This forum shows that combating misinformation takes dedicated resources, and I'm deeply curious about that part of the equation.
