I just wanted to remind small rural libraries that there are two good grant sources for new children's books: the Children's Literacy Foundation and the Libri Foundation. Both ask for some matching funds, but the grant applications are relatively easy to complete and the match requirements are reasonable. The next round of applications for each foundation is coming up - February 1st for CLiF and March 15th for the Libri Foundation.

To access information and applications, visit the websites below. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Ann Hoey at 271-2865 or by e-mail at ahoey@library.state.nh.us
