We in ALA’s Public Programs Office have just announced a new grant opportunity. Would you mind sharing it with your colleagues and members?</p>

You may have heard of the Great Stories Club, a book club program for at-risk teens, created with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. We are now offering a new theme of the Great Stories Club under the theme “The Art of Change: Creation,
Growth and Transformation.” This round features three books with protagonists that use the arts to overcome personal challenges.</p>
