You're encouraged to tag IMLS (as well as NSLAPR) in any social media post that promotes your LSTA grant project:
Also, remember to capture social media content to include with final reports.
A picture is worth 1000 words, so we highly recommend that photo documentation and video URLs be submitted with your final report. If members of the public are in your snapshots, also get a photo release.
