Special Award - Recipients
The GMR occasionally funds special projects that do not fall within the scope of our established awards programs. If you have a project that relates to the mission of NN/LM, but is not addressed by one of our awards or subcontracts, please contact us. The following were funded as Special Awards.

The purpose of this project is to market and promote the NN/LM National Emergency Preparedness Plan to member libraries in the Greater Midwest Region at the Midwest/MHSLA annual conference in Troy, Michigan October 16-21, 2008. This project will take the form of a traveling exhibit and will be available to other member libraries to utilize as needed.
