Application deadline is April 21, 2006 for the FY2007 funding cycle.

The Texas Reads Grant funds public library programs to promote reading and literacy within local communities. This program is administered by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) and funded by proceeds of the sale of Texas Reads specialty license plates available through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). See http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/agency/txreads.html for more information about the Texas Reads specialty license plate.
