UPDATE: The material in this blog has been updated on March 25. It originally said the event was provided in partnership with state agencies. State agencies have no role in the planning of this event, although the Washington State Legislature, Governor Gregoire, and the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED) do have an ongoing partnership with GrantStation.

  2. Hi Rita,

    The State Library regularly highlights third-party events to alert the library community to training and resource opportunities. By doing so, we are not endorsing the content of the event, but merely providing it as an FYI to librarians who have expressed an interest in having us pass along these types of announcements we receive.

    My apologies for misleading you… I’ll amend the post for clarity’s sake.

    And thanks for the comment!
