Grant for Title I School Libraries
School Library Journal (SLJ) and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) are pleased to announce a new round of funding available to libraries in qualifying K–12 schools.
Now in its second year, the Mathical Book Prize Collection Development Awards offer grants to Title I schools to purchase literary fiction and nonfiction books that inspire a love of math. The application period opens today.
Presented by MSRI, in partnership with SLJ, the award enables up to 25 libraries in K–12 schools to receive $700 grants to purchase titles from the Mathical Book Prize list. To be eligible, schools must employ a full- or part-time librarian who meets state requirements for school library media certification and is currently employed as a media specialist, teacher librarian, or equivalent position.
The application period for the Mathical Book Prize Collection Development Awards closes March 19. The awards will be announced in April.
