Book Love Classroom Library Grant Opportunity
Book Love Classroom Library Grant Opportunity
The Book Love Foundation seeks teachers who demonstrate a passion for promoting a hunger for books. These teachers recognize the diversity of every class of readers and they challenge each student to build an independent reading life of increasing depth and joy.
Teachers who apply for a Book Love Foundation grant must demonstrate that they are already committed to the support of readers through current classroom practices such as maintaining access to a range of books, conferring regularly and purposefully to understand and support students' changing needs, and sharing their own contagious passion for reading inside and outside of their classroom. This year, we will be awarding three types of grants - Classroom Library grants, Book Clubs grants in honor of Dr. Teri Lesesne, and the new Preservice Teachers grants.
For requirements and applications, please visit https://www.booklovefoundation.org/apply
