[Libs-Or] Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) Great Stories Club (GSC)

[Kelly McElroy]

Good morning,

A friend who is on this ALA committee asked me to share this information.
Sounds like a great opportunity!

Take care,
Kelly

American Library Association (ALA) is inviting libraries to apply for a
pilot of the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) Great Stories
Club (GSC), a thematic reading and discussion program series that will
engage underserved teens through literature-based library outreach programs
and racial healing work.

Visit the project guidelines and apply online by Feb. 16, 2018.

An expansion of ALA’s long-standing GSC program model, the TRHT GSC will
feature books that explore the coming-of-age experience for young people in
historically marginalized groups. The TRHT GSC is a part of the Kellogg
Foundation’s Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation efforts, a
comprehensive, national and community-based process to plan for and bring
about transformational and sustainable change, and to address the historic
and contemporary effects of racism.

Questions? Contact the American Library Association (ALA) staff at
1-800-545-2433, ext. 5045, or publicprograms at ala.org.
