Laura Bush Foundation For America’s Libraries
Category: Literacy
DescriptionThe Foundation, named for the former First Lady, helps school libraries encourage and foster a love of reading, support student learning, and make books and reading materials available to students who otherwise would not have access to them. Grants will be awarded to help libraries in schools where 85 percent or more of the students qualify for free or reduced lunches expand, update, and diversify their book collections. Schools must be in operation for a minimum of one year prior to submitting an application; the library must be a uniquely designated space in which books and other materials are systematically classified, arranged by subject, type, etc., and stored in a location and manner that allows access to all students and adults in the school. The day-to-day oversight and operation of the school library must be carried out by a paid librarian, designated by the school administration to be responsible for the collection, care, and use of the materials housed in the library. And the school must be a first-time recipient of a grant from the Laura Bush Foundation. Additional details can be found on the Web site.
