<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><br>
The Pilcrow Foundation is taking over what the Libri Foundation used to do with the Books for Children grant program. We in Library Support and Development were asked by Karren Timmermans, Executive Director at the Pilcrow Foundation, to let you know about
their 2016 Children’s Book Project matching grant opportunities. Please refer to the email below and to this page,
<a href="http://thepilcrowfoundation.org/childrens-book-project/"><span style="color:blue">http://thepilcrowfoundation.org/childrens-book-project/</span></a>, which has information about eligibility and requirements.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Many of you probably know that the Libri Foundation is offering its final grants in 2016, but only specific Oregon libraries qualify:
<a href="http://www.librifoundation.org/apps.html"><span style="color:blue">http://www.librifoundation.org/apps.html</span></a>. I asked Karren how possibly receiving a 2016 grant from the Libri Foundation might affect eligibility for the 2016 Pilcrow Foundation
grants. In response, she wrote, “Librarians, whether or not they have received a grant from Libri in the past 3 years or in 2016, are eligible to apply for grant from The Pilcrow Foundation. Although we are continuing Libri's work, we are operating independently
of them.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">If have any questions, please contact Karren at

<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this email finds you well. I am the executive director of The Pilcrow Foundation. We recently took over the work of the Libri Foundation to provide new, quality, hardcover books to rural public libraries. We have a Named Sponsor
who would like to support rural public libraries in Oregon. It would be most helpful if you could let the Oregon public librarians at the rural libraries know of this opportunity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our grant due dates are 1 March, 1 May, and 1 October. We provide a 2 to 1 match for libraries raising from $200-$400 in their communities. Information and grant applications are available on our website<o:p></o:p></p>
