EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has announced the 2019 EBSCO Solar grant program to help libraries in their sustainability efforts. As part of the EBSCO Solar initiative, EBSCO is soliciting grant applications to give libraries the opportunity to 'go green' by funding solar installations. EBSCO will be accepting submissions from both domestic and international libraries.
The grants will allow winning libraries to reduce their utilities expenses and install a solar array at their institution. After seeing the benefits of 'going green' on its own campus, EBSCO introduced the EBSCO Solar grant program so libraries interested in adding their own solar arrays can do so. Since 2016, EBSCO has given libraries more than $650,000 in grant money.
Red Feather Lakes Library in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado, Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, and The University of West Indies, Mona in Kingston, Jamaica, received grants last year and are planning to install their arrays in 2019.
Interested libraries may submit questions until February 28. Submissions are due by April 30, and the winner will be announced on June 21, 2019, both online and at ALA-Annual.
