Katrina and Rita Hurricane Relief Grants The Libri Foundation is offering a limited number of special non-matching BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grants to libraries serving rural communities affected by Hurricanes Katrina or Rita in 2005. Libraries receiving these grants will be able to select $700 worth of new, quality, hardcover children's books from the Foundation's 700-plus title booklist. No local matching funds are required. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis. In general, county libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000). Libraries should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an active children's department. Please note: Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a city with a population over 40,000. Application packets for these special grants may be requested by mail, telephone, or fax at the address or phone numbers given on the Libri Foundation home page. The application deadline is April 15, 2008. Grants will be awarded April 30th.
