Applications being accepted for $30,000 in library grants
Fri, 07/02/2010 - 14:29 — ncfladminBetter World Books and the National Center for Family Literacy are teaming up again this year to provide grants for libraries with exceptional family programming.
Applications are now being accepted for the Better World Books/NCFL Libraries and Families Award. You can get more information and apply online at http://www.famlit.org/BWB-library-award. Applications are due by Nov. 12.
NCFL anticipates awarding three $10,000 grant awards – one in each of the following three categories:
1) Local Friends of the Library programs
2) Public/academic libraries
3) Urban libraries
In addition, award recipients will receive scholarships to attend the National Conference on Family Literacy in 2011.
This will be the second year of the award and the latest in many partnership efforts between NCFL and Better World Books, which together have raised more than $555,000 for NCFL’s programming (since 2005).
