We understand that Austin Public has received two Texas Book Festival Grants: One for augmenting our Western Genre collections at the Manchaca Road Branch Library and one for purchase of Southwestern Art materials for our Pleasant Hill Branch Library. I haven't seen the letters yet, but they are apparently in the mail!
We are in the middle of working on implementation of the Celebrate Urban Birds grant at the Windsor Park Branch Library offered by the Cornell University Ornithology Laboratory. Take a fun look at their very vibrant website and gather some program ideas for yourself! http://www.birds.cornell.edu/celebration/community/mini-grant-applicants /help-us-select-the-winners/ The Austin History Center is implementing the Humanities Texas Grant Preserving the Voices of Austin and Travis County Elderly Mexican Americans: An Oral History Project and is experiencing a tremendous response for the call to conduct oral histories with people 65 years and older during Older Americans Month in May! All the best, Sue ______________________________________ Susan K. Soy, CA, Library Development Administrator, Austin Public Library P.O.
