[Reading-For-Healthy-Families] Book Grants available for Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties

[Katie Anderson]

Hello!  I just received a great question from one of you and I thought all of you would want to know the answer.

Q. "How can we find out about books for the rest of us?"

A.  All the supervisors participating in RFHF should have attended Training Session Two's presentation on marketing, advocacy, fund development, and partnerships.  During this presentation Susan Lindauer and I gave all the library and Healthy  Start supervisors a CD that includes resources on fund development and resources for finding inexpensive books.  For your convenience, I've attached the file from that CD that includes the information on how to find cheap books.  In addition, when I learn of new grants I email them out on this list.  I invite you to share any grant opportunities you learn of on this list too.
