Applications are currently available for PRIME TIME FAMILY READING 
TIME®, an award-winning reading, discussion and storytelling series 
offered by an affiliate of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities 
(LEH), in partnership with the ALA Public Programs Office and with 
support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

Based on illustrated children's books, PRIME TIME —now in its 19^th 
year—is designed to help low-income, low-literate families bond around 
the act of reading and talking about books. It models and encourages 
family reading and discussion of humanities topics and aids parents and 
children in selecting books and becoming active public library users.

Statewide organizations, including state libraries, state humanities 
councils, centers for the book and library associations, as well as 
library systems outside Louisiana, are invited to apply. Libraries 
interested in participating in PRIME TIME are encouraged to contact 
their state library, humanities council, center for the book, library 
association or system headquarters to initiate an application.

Proposals will be accepted through an online application, available 
through www.ProgrammingLibrarian.org 
<http://www.programminglibrarian.org/> and 
www.leh.org/html/primetime_neh_expansion.html 
<http://www.leh.org/html/primetime_neh_expansion.html>. *The deadline 
for applications is Friday, May 28, 2010.* Applications that provide 
plans for multicultural or bilingual programming will be given 
preference. Previous PRIME TIME award recipients are eligible to apply.

Selected states / systems will receive:

    * Travel, lodging and most meals to attend a mandatory meeting of
      state/system project directors in New Orleans on July 22, 2010.
    * Travel, lodging and most meals to attend the mandatory training
      workshop in New Orleans July 23-25, 2010 for the state/system
      project directors, as well as their team of local library
      coordinators, community organizers/translators, scholars, and
      storytellers.
    * Stipends for each site’s scholar, storyteller, community
      organizer/translator and preschool coordinator (maximum of $2,300
      per site).
