$75,000 in Funding Available for Library Literacy Programming


Applicants to Better World Books' LEAP Grants (Literacy and Education in Action Program) for Libraries propose a compelling literacy project in their community.

Though it's a simplified process, a two page overview is due by March 25.

"Interested libraries need only submit a short two page project overview and those with the best proposals will be selected for a 30 minute conversation where they will pitch their idea. After reviewing all of the pitches, Better World Books will select the winners whose projects are most viable and ready to go. Selected libraries will then be asked to complete a more detailed project plan in coordination with Better World Books. After project plans are complete, the grants will be awarded."
