Thanks! If you want books there seems to be a lot of money out there for things like that and reading programs. I know Target is a strong supporter of reading/books--we found that out when we went to apply for a grant from them and found the playground didn't fit under any of their programs. I'll go check my files and post some other companies that have grants for books/reading.
Outstanding!!! We are trying to get grants to fund our "New Library Books" drive. Library was moved due to space issues and inventory was very old. Ancient, is a better word. We are left with less than 3000 books, so we are looking for funding sources to help us get new books.
Finally--a positive posting from kmamom concerning the fundraising for our playground!
Don't let the information required by grant makers deter you--you CAN figure it out, and it's well worth the trouble. We just received a $37,500 grant from our county towards are handicapped accessible playground!
