<p><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">2019 Ready to Read grant applications have been mailed to library directors at all eligible public libraries and are available
<a href="https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/R2R/Apply.aspx">here</a>. One hundred and thirty three Oregon libraries are eligible to apply for a total of $734,189 in state funds, which is an average of $1.07 per youth 0-14 years old. Applications
must be received by August 31, 2018. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Ready to Read Grants are the only state funds public libraries in Oregon receive. State funds are distributed annually to legally established public libraries through this non-competitive grant
program. The amount of money each library may apply for is pre-determined using a formula based on the population in and square miles of each library’s service area or a minimum grant of $1,000. Libraries may spend these funds on early literacy activities
for children birth through age 6 and/or Oregon statewide summer reading activities for children birth through age 14.
