Subject: [alacro-l] Applications now accepted for PRIME TIME FAMILY
READING TIME program grants

 

Applications are currently available for PRIME TIME FAMILY READING
TIME(r), an award-winning reading, discussion and storytelling series
offered by an affiliate of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities
(LEH), in partnership with the ALA Public Programs Office and with
support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). 

 

Based on illustrated children's books, PRIME TIME -now in its 19th
year-is designed to help low-income, low-literate families bond around
the act of reading and talking about books. It models and encourages
family reading and discussion of humanities topics and aids parents and
children in selecting books and becoming active public library users.

 

Statewide organizations, including state libraries, state humanities
councils, centers for the book and library associations, as well as
library systems outside Louisiana, are invited to apply. Libraries
interested in participating in PRIME TIME are encouraged to contact
their state library, humanities council, center for the book, library
association or system headquarters to initiate an application. 

 

Proposals will be accepted through an online application, available
through www.ProgrammingLibrarian.org
<http://www.programminglibrarian.org/>  and
www.leh.org/html/primetime_neh_expansion.html. The deadline for
applications is Friday, May 28, 2010. Applications that provide plans
for multicultural or bilingual programming will be given preference.
Previous PRIME TIME award recipients are eligible to apply.

*	Travel, lodging and most meals to attend a mandatory meeting of
state/system project directors in New Orleans on July 22, 2010.
