Grant opportunity for facilities serving at-risk teens!

The ALA Public Programs Office and the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) are now accepting applications for the latest round of Great Stories CLUB grants. Electronic applications will be accepted through November 14 at www.ala.org/greatstories.

Launched in 2005, the Great Stories CLUB (Connecting Libraries, Underserved teens and Books) is a reading and discussion program designed to reach underserved, troubled teen populations through books that are relevant to their lives. All types of libraries (public, school, academic and special) located within or working in partnership with facilities serving troubled teens, including juvenile detention centers, in the United States and its territories are eligible to apply for a Great Stories Club grant.

For more information on the Great Stories CLUB, including guidelines, book descriptions, application instructions and a link to the online application, visit www.ala.org/greatstories.
