<p class="MsoNormal">Hi! The mailing notifying you that your Ready to Read Grant application was accepted or denied went out in the mail last Thursday and Friday. I have already spoken with the directors at the libraries that are listed as not receiving a 2015
Ready to Read Grant so there should be no surprises. Please remember that these libraries may appeal the decision. If they do and are successful, then the amount of money your library receives will be slightly less than what is listed on the chart you will
receive in the mail (unless you receive the minimum grant which is always $1,000).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will also find in the mailing the 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grant report form and an addendum to the report form explaining new data libraries will be asked to collect in 2015. This is just intended to be your first introduction to this
change so you know what is going on when you get more information about the new data and support for collecting/reporting the new data in the future.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have attached electronic copies of the 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grant report form and addendum for your convenience.
