We the People Bookshelf Grant

Looking to receive free books for your library?  The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA) would like to invite public and school (K-12) libraries to apply for the We the People Bookshelf grant.  Part of NEH's We the Peopleprogram, the Bookshelf is a grant program that encourages young people to read and understand great literature while exploring themes in American history.

This year, NEH is offering 4,000 sets of classic books for young readers on the theme, "A More Perfect Union."  To apply, complete the online application by describing how your library will create a theme-related program that highlights the Bookshelf titles.  The application is available here and should take less than one hour to complete. For more information, please visit the SELCO Librarian .  If you have any questions, contact the ALA Public Programs Office at publicprograms@ala.org.
