CHICAGO
— Underfunded libraries, schools and non-traditional organizations that
provide educational services to children are invited to apply to
receive one of three Coretta Scott King Book Donation Grants.
Awarded
by the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee, the grant program
provides books submitted for consideration for the Coretta Scott King
Book Awards to libraries and other organizations to expand their
collections. Each year, three organizations are selected that
demonstrate need and potential benefit from receiving the collection.
All three libraries will receive copies of more than 60 titles submitted
for consideration for the 2015 awards, including a full set of the
winning titles.
Applications will be accepted through Jan. 31, 2015, and winners will be announced by early March.

The
Coretta Scott King Book Awards are presented annually by the Coretta
Scott King Book Awards Committee of the ALA’s Ethnic and Multicultural
Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT) to encourage the artistic
expression of the African-American experience via literature and the
graphic arts.
