"Books for Children" Grants for Rural Libraries

The Libri Foundation provides supplemental funds to rural libraries to assist them in acquiring new, quality, hardcover children’s books that they could not otherwise purchase. By matching local sponsor-raised funds at a 2 to 1 ratio, the Foundation encourages and rewards community support of libraries and helps build your children’s collection. Libri Foundation grants are offered three times a year, winter, spring and fall: the next upcoming application date is August 15. Visit their Web site for application information and apply now. E-mail Barbara J. McKillip for questions or additional grant program information.
