Not in one of our target counties? We can help!
If you are a library and you like what we're doing and would like to become a part of our program we can help in a few different ways depending on your needs. Please give us a call or send an email so we can discuss your needs and help you decide on your path to ukulele awesomeness!
| Single Library | Library System | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost/Funding | If you are looking to add 2-3 uke kits to a single library, we can get you set up for under $300! | The more libraries involved, the more bang for the buck. Grant funding generally is the easiest to come by for a project as large as an entire county. In either case, donations from your patrons can go a long way. |
| Training | For a single library/librarian, it may make sense for you to travel to Altoona/Hollidaysburg to learn about the ukulele & how to use our uke kits. | For 3 or more librarians, we would be happy to travel to you for a 2-3 hour long training session focusing on the basics of the instrument as well as instrument maintainance. |

If you're too far away to feasibly be part of our program, we would be more than happy to help you start your own program.
