Hi everyone,

I wanted to share this grant opportunity in case it’s helpful or sparks ideas for anyone:

🔗 AASL Innovative Reading Grant
https://www.ala.org/aasl/awards/innovative

This grant supports creative, forward-thinking approaches to reading and literacy, and it feels especially aligned with a lot of the innovative work happening in our libraries right now.

📅 Application deadline: February 1st

Full transparency: I’m serving on the award committee this year, so I can’t provide feedback on individual applications—but I wanted to be sure this opportunity was on everyone’s radar.

I hope this is useful as you plan or think about ways to support new initiatives. Thanks, as always, for the thoughtful work and collaboration in this listserv.

Best,
Jessi
