Youth Literacy Grants Nominees Needed
For the last eleven years, the Children’s Book Guild has awarded grants to schools to purchase books for their libraries, media centers, or classrooms. In 2025 we chose 6 schools: Cooper Lane Elementary School, in Prince George's County; and Malcolm X, Miner, Nalle, Savoy, and Turner Elementary Schools in Washington, DC. Each school will receive a grant of $500 to buy books from the First Book Marketplace. Do you have any possible nominees? Please email Kem Sawyer with your recommendation.
