Congratulations to:
- Douglas County Library, Castle Rock, Colo.
- High Plains Library District, Greeley, Colo.
- Lafayette Public Library, Lafayette, Colo.
- Upper San Juan Library District, Pagosa Springs, Colo.
These libraries are among 34 in the country to be awarded “The American Dream Starts @ your library” grant. This grant, a one-time award of $5,000, is designed to help public libraries increase their literacy services to adult English language learners. The grants are funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and implemented by ALA. .
Additionally, any library can benefit from the American Dream@ your Library Toolkit hosted by ALA.
Congratulations to several Coloradoans who received some grant money this month. Patty Chapman, Judy Van Acker and Sue Keefer received the Colorado State Library’s scholarship to attend ALA. This must have been Sue’s lucky month, because she also received an additional $5000 from Anschutz Family Foundation to boost her general operating costs to support ongoing programs that reach out to the Spanish community. Lastly, Gretchen Villers from Custer County School District received $5000 from ALA’s ALSC Division from their Bookapalooza Grant. This grant gives only 3 libraries across the country $5000 in free books.
Gretchen stated in her application,
“I want my students to experience not just the horses, cattle and rodeo of our ranching community, but to also know about Africa and New York City and people who are different from them. I believe it is through books that our children can experience this.”
Congratulations, Gretchen!
The point in all this is to encourage you to take some time to look at some of these opportunities and see if they fit with your goals. CLiC consultants are happy to offer advice and direct you to resources that can help make sure you have the best chance of receiving additional funding. If I missed anyone, please comment on my post!
