Deadline Extended for Apps for National Library Week Grants: Now Due Nov. 6

This news comes directly from ALA:

The deadline for the Scholastic Library Publishing National Library Week grant has been extended to Friday, November 6, 2009.

U.S. libraries of all types are invited to apply for a $3,000 grant that will be awarded to the best public awareness campaign that promotes the theme “Communities thrive @ your library” during National Library Week (April 11-17, 2010).

The 2010 grant application form and the guidelines can be accessed from the Scholastic Library Publishing National Library Week Web site.

All proposals must use the “Communities thrive @ your library” theme, which incorporates The Campaign for America's Libraries’ @ your library brand, on promotional and publicity material supporting National Library Week activities. Guidelines for using the brand are available on the campaign Web site under the “download logos” section.

The grant is sponsored by Scholastic Library Publishing, a division of Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education and media company and is administered by the Public Awareness Committee of the American Library Association (ALA).
