<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Apply by January 30 to host "Lincoln: The

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ALA Public Programs Office is happy to
announce its
collaboration with the National Constitution Center (NCC) in
Philadelphia
on a new traveling exhibit, “Lincoln: The Constitution and the
Civil War.” One copy of the exhibition will travel to public, academic
and special libraries from mid-2009 through 2011. The traveling
exhibition and
tour are funded by a major grant from the National Endowment for the
Humanities
(NEH) to the National Constitution Center. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> “Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil
War” offers a fresh and innovative perspective on Abraham Lincoln that
focuses on his struggle to meet the political and constitutional
challenges of
the Civil War. The exhibition explores how Lincoln used the
Constitution to
confront three intertwined crises of the war—the secession of Southern
states, slavery and wartime civil liberties. Visitors will leave the
exhibition
with a more complete understanding of Lincoln as president and the
Civil War as
the nation’s gravest constitutional crisis.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Librarians applying to host “Lincoln: The
Constitution
and the Civil War” in their public, academic or special library must
register their institution at Grants.gov. Prospective applicants are
advised to register with Grants.gov as soon as possible, as the process
can
take up to two weeks to complete. <b>The application and guidelines
for
“Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War” and complete
instructions for registering and applying through Grants.gov may be
found at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://neh.gov/grants/guidelines/SGL_Lincoln.html">http://neh.gov/grants/guidelines/SGL_Lincoln.html</a>.</b>
Online applications must be completed through Grants.gov by January 30,
2009. Applications may not be submitted through ALA.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Successful applicants will host the 1,000 square
foot
exhibit for six weeks and receive a $2,500 grant from NEH for
attendance at an
exhibit planning workshop and other exhibit-related expenses.
Participating libraries are expected to present at least two free
public
programs featuring a lecture or discussion by a qualified scholar on
exhibition
themes. All showings of the exhibition must be free and open to the
public. <o:p></o:p></p>
