Dear Advisory Board Members, We are happy to announce that the 2014 Library of Congress Literacy Awards Program is now accepting applications. Please take this opportunity to share the news with your contacts at organizations and across social media. Our goal is to top last year’s total of 187 applications, but we can only do it if we all work to get the word out. This is THE TIME to get organizations you work with or know about to apply. The three winners will be announced at the National Book Festival on August 30, 2014. This will be followed in October by an awards ceremony and formal presentations by the winners at the Library of Congress. We look forward to seeing all of you at both the awards ceremony and our board meeting on June 16. The prizes are: The David M. Rubenstein Prize ($150,000) will be awarded to an organization that has made outstanding and measurable contributions in increasing literacy levels and has demonstrated exceptional and sustained depth and breadth in its commitment to the advancement of literacy. The organization will meet the highest standards of excellence in its operations and services. This award may be given to any organization based either inside or outside the United States. The American Prize ($50,000) will be awarded to an organization that has made a significant and measurable contribution to increasing literacy levels or the national awareness of the importance of literacy. This award may be given to any organization that is based in the United States. The International Prize ($50,000) will be awarded to an organization or national entity that has made a significant and measurable contribution to increasing literacy levels. This award may be given to any organization that is based in a country outside the United States. The program is accepting applications from now until the March 31, 2014, deadline.

We hope that you will share this information with any groups that might be interested and encourage applications. STEPHEN B.
