Book grants for rural libraries

The Roads to Reading Annual Competitive Book Donation Program is designed to donate books to literacy programming in small and rural communities (population under 50,000 with a median income under $41,000 per household).

All programs must have a strong focus on remedial reading programming or a tutoring component as part of the program. The books that are available through this program are appropriate for ages 6 months to young adult. Eligible programs are:

• School-based programs
• After-School or Community Literacy Programs
• Day-Care Centers
•  Public Library collections available for students and for direct use
  

Check all the requirements on the Roads to Reading site. Also be aware that an administrative fee will apparently apply, although the amount is not specified.

Deadline: March 30, 2010.
