A New York State Library Grant Program

Family Literacy Library Services Grant Program (this page)

Through the Family Literacy Services Grants Program, public libraries have access to resources to help children learn to use the library as an integral part of their education. The projects also involve parents in their student's education from an early age. Priority is given to projects that encourage preschool, after-school, weekend and summer learning programs for children. Many successful programs also utilize museums, public television, historical societies, environmental centers, other libraries and additional cultural resources.

SEE: New York State Education Law, § 273 1 h (3), and Commissioner's Regulations 90.3 (m).
