Children's Book Grants
Small rural public libraries can take advantage of two grant opportunities for new children's books. Both of these grants require some matching funds and both allow libraries to choose titles from a list of outstanding books for children. If your library is in a town of fewer than 10,000 residents, check out the Libri Foundation for a children's book grant. Visit their website at www.librifoundation.org. Libraries in communities with fewer than 5,000 residents can apply for grants at the Children's Literacy Foundation, which awards 12 grants a year to NH public libraries. Visit www.clifonline.org for more information.
