APPLICATIONS INVITED FOR 2009 LOIS LENSKI COVEY FOUNDATION LIBRARY
GRANTS 

 

Libraries serving economically or socially at-risk children and teens
are invited to apply for 2009 Lois Lenski Covey Foundation library
grants. Grants are for the acquisition of books published for young
people preschool through grade 12.  To be considered, libraries must
have limited book budgets and serve a disadvantaged population. Rural
and urban, public, school, and non-profit agency libraries are eligible.
The grants are given to individual libraries, rather than library
systems or cooperatives. 2009 grants will range from $500 to $3000.   

 

Information regarding the Foundation, details regarding the grant
program, and a downloadable 2009 grant application form can be found at
the Foundation Web site www.loislenskicovey.org. Libraries unable to
download the application form may request a hard copy by writing to the
Lois Lenski Covey Foundation, P.O. Box 255366, Sacramento, CA 95865 or
by sending an e-mail to michael.covey@loislenskicovey.org. Applications
must be postmarked no later than June 15, 2009.  

 

The Lois Lenski Covey Foundation was created by Lois Lenski, respected
writer and illustrator and 1946 Newbery medalist for Strawberry Girl.
Ms. Lenski had a life-long concern that all children have access to good
books. Her foundation continues to help provide that access through
grants to deserving agencies serving disadvantaged populations.
