[Libs-Or] Let’s Talk About It: Women’s Suffrage applications now open

[WEIBLE Arlene * SLO]

ALA has announced a new grant for libraries designed to spark conversations about American history and culture through an examination of the women’s suffrage movement.

To qualify for this grant, the applying institution must be a library (public, tribal, school, academic, or special) residing in the U.S. or U.S. territories. Read the grant guidelines<https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/ltai/suffrage/guidelines> and frequently asked questions<https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/ltai/suffrage/faq>.

Through Let’s Talk About It (LTAI): Women’s Suffrage<https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/ltai/suffrage>, participants will read a series of books curated by humanities scholars and discuss the people and events from this often under-taught part of U.S. history.

Twenty-five libraries will be selected to receive a $1,000 stipend to support programming costs, ten copies of five themed books, access to programming guides and support materials, virtual training on the LTAI model, a suite of online resources and more.

Applications will be accepted from September 1 to December 1, 2021. Library workers can apply online at ala.org/ltai<https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/ltai/suffrage>.

Please reach out to publicprograms at ala.org<mailto:publicprograms at ala.org> with any questions!
