[LM_NET] Gen: grant for school libraries

[Beth Yoke <byoke@ALA.ORG>]

The Laura Bush Foundation makes grants of up to $6,000 each to update,
extend, and diversify the book collections of school libraries. All LBF
grants are made to individual schools rather than to school districts,
county systems, private organizations, foundations, or other entities.
LBF gives selection preference to schools in which 90 percent or more of
the students receive free or reduced lunches and are likely to have the
fewest books at home.

Foundation funds are available only for library books and
magazine/serial copies and subscriptions. The Laura Bush Foundation is
unable to honor requests for staffing, shelving, furniture, equipment,
software, videos, classroom book sets or any kind of book guides, tests,
or exams. Only one application per school is allowed per year. 

Libraries at public and private schools are eligible to apply.  The
deadline to apply is Dec. 31, 2009.  The application can be found at:
