For a third year, VALF is awarding a literacy grant to volunteer literacy groups in Florida who are members of VALF. This year's focus is on innovation, and up to $1,000 will be available. For a copy of the application email literacyflorida@hotmail.com.
In the first year VALF awarded three, $300 grants. Last year, five, $500 grants were awarded in the honor of Jack Newell, a long time champion of volunteer and library literacy programs in Florida. This year we decided to give $1,000 for a program that strives for excellence by instituting innovative practices.
Innovation can be defined locally. What is routine for one program could be considered an exciting new strategy for another literacy group. It all depends. For a list of last year's winners go to our wiki.
