This year's theme is "Picturing America." Public and school (K-12) libraries are invited to apply online through January 30, 2009 at http://publicprograms.ala.org/bookshelf <http://pull.xmr3.com/p/25325-7ACA/31821845/http-publicprograms.ala.org- bookshelf.html> . A single application may be submitted on behalf of multiple libraries within a library system, school district or community. Individual branch and school libraries are also encouraged to apply. In spring 2009, NEH will award 4,000 libraries - the most ever under a single Bookshelf grant - a collection of 17 classic hardcover books for young readers, related to the "Picturing America" theme, as well as Spanish translations of three titles, and bonus materials for readers of all ages. Successful applicants will also receive accompanying materials for programming, including bookplates, bookmarks and posters.
