2009 Family Place Library Grants

Commonwealth Libraries will be awarding up to six grants next spring. Successful applicants would attend training in fall of 2009 and complete the requirements of the grant by June of 2010. If you want your library to be the community hub for young childern and their families please consider applying. The only qualification is that a library must have a dedicated youth services staff member who works at least 30 per week. If you have applied before and did not receive the grant please consider applying again. We had 15 applications last year and were only able to fund six. Information on the program is included in the application, as well as a link to Family Place Libraries. Applications and the Internet Safety Document are due on or before Friday, October 10, 2008.
