Once again, Dollar General - that great supporter of libraries and
literacy - is accepting applications for Back to School Grants and Youth
Literacy Grants. Don't forget that applicants must reside in and provide
direct service within Dollar General's thirty-five-state market area and
must be located within twenty miles of a Dollar General store. Not sure
if you qualify? Here's

Back to School Grants provide funding of up to $5,000 to help school
libraries and media centers: 1) implement new or expanding existing
literacy programs; 2) purchase new technology or equipment to support
literacy initiatives; and 3) purchasing books, materials, or software
for literacy programs. Applicants must be K-12 public, private, or
charter schools.  Click here

Youth Literacy Grants provide funding of up to $3,000 to schools, public
libraries, and nonprofit organizations working to help students who are
below grade level or experiencing difficulty reading. Applicants must be

college or university, or a public library. Click here
