<div class="FluidPluginCopy">ALA invites library workers to apply for the third annual Peggy Barber Tribute Grant, a programming grant named after the transformative ALA leader responsible for the creation of National Library Week and the Celebrity READ series.<br>

<div class="FluidPluginCopy"><br>
</div>
<div class="FluidPluginCopy ContentPasted0">The Peggy Barber Tribute Grant is an annual grant that recognizes, promotes, and supports meaningful programs in libraries that have limited and/or no access to budgetary support for programming. This grant aims to
help ease budget challenges by annually awarding three libraries $2,500 to support a proposed program, program series, or programming effort.</div>
<div class="FluidPluginCopy"><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="FluidPluginCopy">Applications for the award will be accepted from December 1, 2022, to February 1, 2023.<br>
</div>
<div class="FluidPluginCopy"><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="FluidPluginCopy ContentPasted0">Read the grant guidelines and apply online.</div>
<div class="FluidPluginCopy"><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="FluidPluginCopy">Each year, the grant will focus on supporting a specific type of library programming. For the 2022–2023 cycle, libraries are invited to submit applications for a grant to support programming related to increasing access for groups
that are identified as undeserved or new library users in the community. Some example proposals could include increasing access to library resources for homebound seniors, media literacy focused programming and kits for patrons re-entering society to learn
about local resources.<br>

<div class="FluidPluginCopy"><br>
</div>
<div class="FluidPluginCopy ContentPasted0">All library types - including public, academic, K-12, tribal and special libraries - in the U.S. or U.S. territories are eligible. Applicants must have a personal or institutional membership with either the American
Library Association OR the Association for Rural & Small Libraries.</div>
