For agencies working in the field of health and well-being, this one-off grant programme could represent an opportunity to form a partnership with a local library to develop a collaborative funding proposal to the Carnegie Trust.
The aims of the Engaging Libraries Fund are to:
o Create new ways for local communities to use and engage with libraries;
o Give libraries the resources and time to experiment and explore how they can deliver projects that creatively and critically engage their communities/audiences with health and wellbeing topics;
o Enable people to connect with topics about health and well-being in ways that are interesting and accessible to them; and
o Support libraries to share and reflect on their experience of public engagement and share learning about the barriers and opportunities that public engagement methodologies bring to the health and well-being offer within libraries.

UK Public libraries can apply for the following funding:

o A package of support from library and public engagement experts;
o A Kickstarter Day with the opportunity to share project ideas, get advice about public engagement and support to think about your evaluation. There will also be the chance to meet other projects; and
o An external evaluation to ensure learning and experience is captured and shared more widely.
