YALSA's 2019 Summer Grant Applications Now Open!

Looking for some extra funds to help out with next year's Summer Reading Program?

YALSA recently announced that applications for the 2019 Summer Grants are officially open!  Thanks to generous funding by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, two different grants are available: the Summer Learning Resource Grant and the Teen Summer Intern Grant.  There are twenty-five grants available for each category, and the grants--worth $1000 each--will be awarded to libraries around the country. 

Interested applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:

• The applicant must be a member of YALSA, both at the time the application is submitted and through the implementation of the grant.
• The Summer Learning Program must be administered through a library.
• The SLP must be open to all teens in your community.
• The winning library must be within 20 miles of a Dollar General store.
