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.

Did you know that NHLA members can apply for grants of up to $200 to be used for a broad range of continuing education opportunities? Thanks to "Mini-Money Grants" made available from the Adam & Jane MacDonald Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, grant recipients can use the money for credit or non-credit courses, workshops and seminars, State Library Education modules, NELINET classes, online education classes and classes offered by local educational institutions.  (The funds may not be used for conference attendance.) Download the grant application form here, and for more information contact Andrea Thorpe at athorpe@newport.lib.nh.us 

If you are looking for financial assistance to be used for graduate study, apply for a Winchell Loan and/or a Norris scholarship. To learn more about these opportunities,  visit the NHLA Graduate Study web page.

The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation invites you to attend one of their 2007 grant information sessions to learn about their Community Impact Grant Program and the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund Grant Program (PDF file). A list of upcoming information sessions is available here.

Not familiar with the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation? Well, it was established in 1962, and it now is one of the country's largest community foundations with:

• A collection of more than 1,400 funds established by donors for individualized charitable purposes
  
• Assets of $344 million
  
• Program initiatives and scholarship funds that awarded more than $25 million in grants in 2005

So don't waste any time. Register to attend a grant information session and start brainstorming ideas for potential grant proposals.
