ALA offers Great Stories CLUB Grants

The Great Stories CLUB (Connecting Libraries, Underserved teens, and Books) is a book club program designed to reach underserved, troubled teen populations through books that are relevant to their lives.

All types of libraries working in partnership with facilities serving troubled teens are eligible. 150 libraries will be selected to develop a book discussion program for troubled teens based on the three theme-related titles and will be given copies of the books to share with participants.

Participating libraries receive access to an online toolkit to support the program. Small cash grants ($100 to $200) will be awarded to up to twenty-five sites for the support of program-related expenses. For complete information including guidelines, book titles and descriptions, application instructions, and feedback from past participants, visit the ALA web site.

Deadline: November 19, 2010
