Family Literacy Grant Opportunity


The Florida Humanities Council is currently accepting applications from public libraries interested in hosting PrimeTime Family Reading Time (www.floridahumanities.org/primetime).

PrimeTime is a free, six-week reading and discussion program that targets underserved families. Led by trained discussion leaders and storytellers, the program utilizes award-winning children’s books to relate literature to real-life and personal experiences.

Libraries may apply for up to $10,000 in funding to host three six-week programs over a two-year period. Funding up to $2,000 is also available for single six-week series at sites that have previously hosted PrimeTime.

Applications will be accepted through August 31 for programming to begin in 2016.

Interested libraries should visit the FHC website at www.floridahumanities.org/primetime for more information and application materials as well as contact me directly before starting an application.
