Once again this year, the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation is offering $500 minigrants to public schools and public libraries in the Unites States for innovative programs that promote the love of reading among children. Examples of funded programs include the following: ongoing pen-pal projects; multicultural portrait projects; art projects culminating in art shows, murals, or quilts; bookmaking; creation and performance of puppet shows; and intergenerational journals.
