ALSC now accepting applications for the Baker & Taylor Summer Reading Grant

ALSC and the Programs and Services Recognition Committee are now accepting online applications for the ALSC/Baker & Taylor Summer Reading Grant. This $3,000 grant is designed to encourage reading programs for children in public libraries, while recognizing ALSC members for outstanding program development.
Due to COVID-19, the committee will consider proposals for virtual programming, as well as in-person programs which can take into account public health and safety measures
Each application will be judged on the following:

• The plan and outline submitted for a theme-based summer reading program in a public library
• Program ideas that are open to all children (birth – 14 years)
• The committee encourages innovative proposals involving children with physical or mental disabilities

Applicants must be personal members of ALSC, as well as ALA members, to apply. Deadline for submissions is Nov. 15, 2020. For more information about the award and to find the online application, please visit the ALSC/Baker & Taylor Summer Reading Grant website.
