BOOK LOVE FOUNDATION GRANT

The Book Love Foundation seeks teachers who demonstrate a passion for promoting reading. These teachers recognize the diversity of every class of students and plan to support each one in building an independent reading life of increasing depth and joy. We seek teachers who will lead colleagues and their school community to a deeper understanding of the importance of reading authors and about the experiences of people as diverse as the students they teach.

Teachers who apply for a Book Love Foundation grant must demonstrate that they are already committed to the support of readers through current classroom practices such as maintaining access to a range of books, conferring regularly and purposefully to understand and support students' changing needs, and sharing their own contagious passion for reading inside and outside of their classroom.

In 2025, we are will be awarding FOUR types of grants - Classroom Library grant, Book Clubs grant in honor of Dr. Teri Lesesne, Preservice Teacher grant, and the NEW Leader's grant for school leaders who are committed to building a school-wide culture of reading.
