<div style=""> Hello! I just learned of the following grant opportunity from the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) to expand existing family literacy programs in libraries. You may learn more online at: http://www.famlit.org/ or contact NCFL at
502-584-1133.<br>
<h2>Better World Books/NCFL Libraries and Families Award Application</h2>
<p>Applications for the 2011 Better World Books/NCFL Libraries and Families Award are now available! Through this opportunity, NCFL and Better World Books will reward and enhance existing family programming and expand literacy-building practices of families
in library settings. The three $10,000 grants awarded each year will connect more families to their local libraries and expand their literacy efforts in new and innovative ways.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The deadline to apply is midnight EST on November 12, 2010. One winner will be chosen from each of the three following categories: local Friends of the Library programs, public/academic libraries and urban libraries. The winners also will receive scholarships
to NCFL’s 2011 National Conference on Family Literacy which will take place April 3-5, 2011 in Louisville, KY.</p>
