The Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) is pleased to announce the 2023 Family Place Libraries Project grant.
Donor Name: Texas State Library and Archives Commission
State: Texas
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 12/02/2022
Size of the Grant: $6,000
Details:
TSLAC is looking for qualified libraries to attend an in-state Family Place Libraries Training Institute and implement the program in their libraries.
The purpose of this grant is to create a welcoming, family-centered environment that empowers caregivers of young children as they become their child’s first teachers. This grant will provide funding for the equipment and training necessary for each library to:
- Host workshops for children ages 0-3 and their caregivers.
- Develop an interactive space for this age group to play and learn in the library.
- Forge strong partnerships with organizations serving young children and their families.
If chosen to participate in the 2023 cohort, new and expansion libraries can expect to have staff members attend an in-state training in May 2023. To offset the cost of travel, TSLAC will provide each attendee up to $700 in travel stipends. Moreover, following training, TSLAC will reimburse participating libraries up to $6,000 to purchase the supplies necessary to launch a successful Family Place Library location at their facility.
Funding Information
The dollar amount should be $6,000.
Eligibility Criteria
In addition to offering this opportunity to new libraries interested in the program, TSLAC is also offering established, qualified, Family Place Libraries the opportunity to apply for funding to expand the Family Place program into one additional branch in their library system this fiscal year.
