<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">I was reminded about the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation Mini-Grant program by a post on the Library Grants blog (<a href="http://librarygrants.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" style="color: purple;">http://librarygrants.blogspot.com/</a>)
maintained by Stephanie Gerding and Pam MacKellar. Teachers and licensed librarians in public schools and librarians in public libraries are eligible to apply for an award of up to $500 "to provide creative, innovative programs that support or extend the Common
Core Standards in education," and <font color="#339966">applications are due March 31, 2018</font>. Up to 60 grants will be awarded. I suggest reading the FAQ, watching the 3-minute overview video, and browsing the gallery of great Mini-Grant programs before
applying.</font></p>
