FYI,

Penguin Random House Grants for Small & Rural Libraries!

Penguin Random House and The Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL) announced a grant program to recognize rural, small and tribal libraries that support underserved communities in the U.S. and U.S. territories.   

The program will award grants of up to $2,500 to libraries that demonstrate a true need. Grants are not limited to literacy and may be used for everything from library programming and books to resources like hotspots that help community members access important information. In-

kind donations will also be considered.

Apply now!

You don’t have to be member of ARSL to apply. This is a rolling grant application, with batches of applications going under review every eight weeks beginning Dec. 17, 2021. Applications will be submitted until all available grant funds are distributed. Grants may be used for everything from library programming and books, to resources like hotspots that help community members access important information!
