2020 KBA and Summer Learning Grant Applications now online.

The 2020 Kid’s Books and the Arts Grant is open for applicants. Here is the 2020 KBA artist roster. Please read the instructions as the KBA grant system has changed. We are in the process of improving our summer grant offering to NH public libraries. We are excited to announce the 2020 Summer Learning Grant.

The Summer Learning Grants will be open to libraries looking to increase their impact on summer learning loss for youth ages 5-18. These projects should address the disparities faced by low-income and underserved youth in the community. Projects may include multigenerational programming that engages caregivers in a child’s learning, purchases of tech tools or circulating kits that will impact the community way past the summer, and healthy activities that complement a summer meals program, just to name a few ideas.

Detailed instructions are included in both online applications. The number of recipients will be determined by 1. the amount of funding received (TBD) and 2. the number of and amount of requests. A library may apply for both grants. Both applications DUE BY MARCH 27, 2020!
