Supporting School Libraries
Grant applications open for the Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries – Extended Deadline to apply is Dec. 13
The
Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries is accepting applications now through December 13 for grants to update and diversify school library collections. Grant applications
are open to public, private, parochial, magnet, and charter schools that have a school library. Public schools must have a Title 1 designation and private schools must have at least 50% of the student population qualify for financial aid to be eligible.
Since its inception, the Laura Bush Foundation has awarded $22 million to over 3,800 schools nationally. Many librarians use the funds to update their library collections by adding more in-demand
books, including e-books and Spanish titles. We ask that you consider sharing
this opportunity with a librarian or teacher in your life.
The George W. Bush Institute’s Education and Opportunity work is anchored in the belief that all children can learn and succeed – and that young people deserve agency in their futures. We use data and research to showcase the need for accountability, the importance
of research-based reading instruction, and ways to increase quality pathways from education into the workforce. Learn more at
