They also welcome applications from informal neighborhood and/or cultural groups and childcare providers.
- Your organization does NOT need to have a literacy or education component in order to apply. They believe that literacy happens everywhere and they LOVE working with all kinds of organizations to reach kids where they are and inspire a love of reading.
- Organizations may apply on behalf of one or more sites/locations but are required to submit separate applications for each.
