[Libs-Or] Yiddish Book Center’s Public Libraries Program => Grant Apps Open thru 7/14

[MAURER Jennifer * SLO]

Hi Folks,

“The Yiddish Book Center’s Public Libraries Program<https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/educational-programs/community-programs/public-libraries-program/between-two-worlds-exploring> brings Yiddish literature in translation to public libraries across the United States to deepen their engagement with Yiddish literature and Jewish life, religion, and culture, and to foster vibrant cross-cultural dialogue and discussion in their communities.

Each year, the Center works with 40 libraries in communities across the United States. The current theme is Between Two Worlds: Exploring Jewish Culture and Religion through Yiddish Literature.” Selected libraries will send one person to a 3-day workshop (expenses covered), organize reading groups, receive supporting resources and funding for the reading groups including a budget to invite guest speakers, and more.

Applications for the 2025-26 program are open through July 14th. Details are here<https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/educational-programs/community-programs/public-libraries-program/between-two-worlds-exploring>.

I learned about this opportunity on the Library Grants blog<https://librarygrants.blogspot.com/> maintained by Stephanie Gerding, to which anyone can subscribe. Stephanie is the author of Winning Grants: A How-to-Do-It Manual for Librarians<https://alastore.ala.org/wingrants3>, which can be borrowed<https://ccrls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/oslpublic/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:1911358/ada?qu=winning+grants&d=ent%3A%2F%2FSD_ILS%2F0%2FSD_ILS%3A1911358%7EILS%7E1&rt=false%7C%7C%7CTITLE%7C%7C%7CTitle&h=8> from the State Library’s Library and Information Science Collection<https://www.oregon.gov/library/libraries/pages/lis-collection.aspx>.

Cheers,
Jen
