Public Librarians (including school/public Community Libraries):
The Libri Foundation is offering a limited number of special non-matching BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grants to libraries serving rural communities (serving a population under 10,000 – and especially libraries serving fewer than 5,000 population) affected by recent floods or other natural disasters. Library grant recipients will be able to select $700 worth of new, quality hardcover children’s books from a list provided by the Foundation.
No matching funds required. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis.
Application deadlines in 2012 are: January 23 (for January 31 grant awards) and May 15 (for May 31 awards).
