Are you a children’s librarian with great ideas, but a lack of resources?
Consider applying for an ALSC grant! Applications are now open for the 2016 Maureen Hayes Author/Illustrator Award and the 2016 Baker & Taylor Summer Reading Grant.
The Maureen Hayes Award is designed to provide funding for a visit from an author/illustrator who will speak to children who have not had the opportunity to hear a nationally known author/illustrator.
The Baker & Taylor Summer Reading Grant is designed to encourage reading programs for children in public libraries, and to recognize ALSC members for outstanding program development. Innovative proposals involving children with physical or mental disabilities are especially encouraged.
Applications for both grants are due by November 1, 2015. Details and how to apply are found at http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/profawards/hayesaward and http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/profawards/bakertaylor.
