FHC is currently offering Partnership grants to library systems interested in hosting PrimeTime Family Reading Time programs. Grants of up to $10,000 are available to cover expenses for hosting three PrimeTime programs in three different library branches in a two-year period. Programs may be presented in English or as a bilingual Spanish/English program.
Libraries are selected for participation based on geographic distribution of potential sites, need for the program in the community, availability of qualified scholars and storytellers in the area, and ability of the library system to provide a minimum cost share match equal to the grant award.
Applicants approved for funding in May 2010 may begin programming in Fall 2010 or Spring 2011. All PrimeTime team members (library coordinator, scholar, and storyteller) must attend a two-day training session in New Orleans prior to participation in the PrimeTime program. Training is held in January and July annually.
Before submitting an application, all libraries are strongly encouraged to review the PrimeTime program information below as well as contact FHC with any questions.
All applications must be received by 5pm on the deadline date. Late applications will not be accepted.
Completed applications and questions should be addressed to:
