Grants for Libraries: A How-To-Do-It Manual, was published in 2006. Order it from the Neal-Schuman website.

Library Journal, Starred Review:

“Grants for Libraries is like the Boy Scouts’ field manual when it comes to grant-writing and development: it is an essential, authoritative, step-by-step guidebook to securing the funding your library needs….this essential “how-to” manual makes a complex topic comprehensible. Grab it and go “granting”!”

Booklist:

"This book should be at the side of every grant-writing librarian."

Midwest Book Review:

"A "must-have" resource especially for library professionals."
