Hello young librarians!

Leah here! Just wanted to announce that the National Book Foundation is giving away their annual Innovations in Reading Prize and the money is ripe for librarians’ picking!

The prize is given to “to individuals and institutions–or partnerships between the two–that have developed innovative means of creating and sustaining a lifelong love of reading” with prize values of up to $2500. So if your library has been searching for funds to develop that Teen Collection or invest in a new Periodicals subscription, you should consider submitting an application. It’s a great way to score some extra cash for the library!

Sidenote: feeling the urge to write an opinion piece or record a podcast? Send us your submissions! Or contact me with questions: younglibrarianseries@gmail.com
