<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Washington State Library continues to support tabletop role-playing game services in libraries in 2025. This year,
<b>competitive Innovation Grants are open to public, school, tribal, and community college libraries in Washington</b>. Awardees will have until September 30, 2026 to implement projects. We’re especially interested in proposals that will build on previous work
implementing TTRPG services in libraries, collaborate with community partners, and create and disseminate resources that benefit the TTRPG community in WA libraries. Recipients of 2024 TTRPG Innovation Grants are welcome to apply but should emphasize how this
year's activities will build on and be distinct from their 2024 project. <o:p></o:p></p>
