Please excuse cross posting: LIBRARY GRANT PROGRAM SPONSORED BY LOIS LENSKI COVEY FOUNDATION Lois Lenski, the 1946 Newbery medalist for Strawberry Girl, had a life-long concern that all children have access to good books. In pursuit of this goal, she established a foundation to provide grants to public and school libraries serving disadvantaged populations. The Lois Lenski Covey Foundation annually awards grants to rural and urban, public and school libraries serving at-risk children. The Foundation gives priority to applications from libraries with real need and limited book budgets. Funds are earmarked for purchasing books for young people rather than administrative or operational use. Previously awarded grants have ranged from 3500 to 32000. Successful applicants have proposed purchases to update their collections generally or to expand their holdings in specific areas. A user-friendly, on-line application form is available at www.loislenskicovey.org. To qualify for year 2008 grants, completed application forms must be received no later than September 15, 2008.
