American Library Association - Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT)
02/07/22 4:00 PM CST Receipt
In-kind donations of books to USA youth-serving agencies and institutions to encourage reading among children and youth. Produced by African American authors and illustrators, the reading books are intended to enrich the lives of children in homeless shelters, preschool programs, charter schools, underfunded libraries, and other community organizations. Eligible applicants such as libraries, schools, detention centers, prisons, social service agencies, religious organizations, and IHEs must demonstrate how the materials will promote the positive self-image of African American children and youth and/or broaden the worldview of children and youth.
The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee believes children’s lives must be saturated with books and reading opportunities. An enduring message of the Committee's Public Awareness Campaign is that books and reading can only add value to children's lives if books are present with opportunities to read. The Book Donation Grant addresses these objectives.
Background
Every year, in the process of choosing the Coretta Scott King Book Award winners and honor books, the Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT) of the American Library Association receives multiple copies of over 100 titles by African American authors and illustrators, including a full set of the year's winning and honor titles. Agencies and institutions serving children can make use of these valuable materials. The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee donates selected copies of the books submitted for consideration for the award to agencies with demonstrated need.
