Libraries Invited to Apply for the Fifth Annual Peggy Barber Tribute Grant to Support Programs Reducing Social Isolation Among Older Adults

CHICAGO — The 91��ý (91��ý) invites library workers to apply for the fifth annual Peggy Barber Tribute Grant, a programming grant named after the transformative 91��ý leader responsible for the creation of National Library Week and the Celebrity READ series.

The Peggy Barber Tribute Grant is an annual grant offered by 91��ý’s Public Programs Office that recognizes, promotes and supports meaningful programs in libraries that have limited and/or no access to budgetary support for programming. This grant aims to help ease budget challenges by annually awarding up to three libraries $2,500 to support a proposed program, program series or programming effort.

Applications for the award will be accepted from December 2, 2024, to February 3, 2025. Read the grant guidelines and apply online.

Each year, the grant focuses on supporting a specific type of library programming. For the 2024 – 2025 cycle, libraries are invited to submit applications for programming related to combatting isolation for older adults.

All library types — including public, academic, K-12, tribal and special libraries — in the U.S. or U.S. territories are eligible. Applicants must have a personal or institutional membership with either the 91��ý OR the Association for Rural & Small Libraries.

Last year’s winners of the Peggy Barber Tribute Grant were the Library System of Bradford County (New Albany, Penn.), Danbury (Conn.) Public Library and Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Libraries (Mount Pleasant, Mich.) The awarded library programs focused on civic education.

Peggy Barber served as 91��ý's associate executive director of communications from 1970 to 2000. In that role, she established 91��ý’s Public Information Office, Public Programs Office and the 91��ý Graphics department. After leaving 91��ý, she was a principal consultant with Library Communication Strategies and served as co-president of Friends of Libraries USA, now known as United for Libraries. She passed away in August 2019.

The 2025 Peggy Barber Tribute Grant is generously supported by The John A. Hartford Foundation, a private, nonpartisan, national philanthropy dedicated to improving the care of older adults. A leader in the field of aging and health, the Foundation has three priority areas: creating age-friendly health systems, supporting family caregivers, and improving serious illness and end-of-life care.

91��ý Invites Applications for Sixth Annual Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant

91��ý Invites Applications for Sixth Annual Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant

CHICAGO — The 91��ý (91��ý) invites library workers to apply for the Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant (LTCEG), an annual award supporting innovative and meaningful community engagement efforts in libraries.

Applications will be accepted between December 2, 2024, and February 3, 2025. View the full award guidelines and apply online at www.ala.org/LTCEG.

Now in its sixth year, the Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant recognizes, promotes, and supports innovative and meaningful community engagement efforts in libraries. It will provide two $2,000 grants to expand the community engagement efforts of a school, public, academic, tribal or special library.

Libraries are invited to apply by designing and outlining activities for a library-led community engagement project. Community engagement is the process of working collaboratively with community members – be they library patrons, residents, faculty, students, or local organizations – to address issues for the betterment of the community.

Each year, LTCEG supports a community engagement project with a specific theme. For the 2024–2025 cycle, libraries are invited to submit applications for a community engagement project focusing on building neighborhood connections. Libraries should collaborate with community members and at least one partner organization to develop a project that addresses a local issue and builds upon community assets.

Some examples of proposals could include a project that brings people together to discuss community tools such as “how to start a block party,” a program that collaborates with a local partner to host heritage or multicultural events, or a project that develops community identity by exploring local history through archives.

Visit the grant guidelines for more information.

Last year’s grant was won by the Hoboken (NJ) Public Library and Independence (KS) Public Library to support the libraries’ efforts in community empowerment. Their initiatives aim to promote food security and address homelessness within their communities.

91��ý announced the creation of the Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant in 2019, an initiative made possible by a matching grant and ongoing support from former 91��ý president and longtime generous supporter Nancy Kranich.

The Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant is part of Libraries Transforming Communities (LTC), 91��ý’s community engagement initiative. Since 2014, LTC has reimagined the role libraries play in supporting communities. Libraries of all types, from across the country, have utilized the free dialogue and deliberation training and resources to lead community and campus forums; take part in anti-violence activities; provide a safe space for residents to come together to discuss challenging topics; and have productive conversations with civic leaders, library trustees and staff.

LTC is administered by 91��ý’s Public Programs Office. To stay informed about future grants and awards offered by 91��ý’s Public Programs Office, sign up for the Programming Librarian e-newsletter.

CHICAGO — The 91��ý (91��ý), with $200,000 in support from the Ford Foundation, announces its latest initiative Libraries Transforming Communities (LTC): Community Catalysts: Libraries as Leaders in Bridging Divides.

Building on the success of Libraries Transforming Communities, which launched in 2014 and has provided millions in funding to support community-focused projects nationwide, the Community Catalysts project continues 91��ý’s commitment to empowering library workers.

Community Catalysts seeks to strengthen community cohesion, promote civic engagement, and enhance critical thinking skills, positioning libraries as vital spaces for constructive dialogue and inclusion. As part of the project, 91��ý will offer a free e-course and comprehensive guide to help library workers lead community conversations on polarizing issues with the goal of bridging divides in their communities. The resources will be freely available to library workers by December 2025.

This project was made possible by the Ford Foundation. The Ford Foundation is an independent organization working to address inequality and build a future grounded in justice. For more than 85 years, it has supported visionaries on the frontlines of social change worldwide, guided by its mission to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement.

Denise Davis Appointed 91��ý Senior Fellow for Research and Data

The 91��ý (91��ý) has appointed Denise Davis as a Senior Fellow in 91��ý’s Department on Institutional Advancement, Programs, and Partnerships and in its Public Policy and Advocacy Office.

Davis will provide advice on the re-establishment of a research and data function for 91��ý. Enabled by generous grant funding from the Mellon Foundation, 91��ý is developing a plan and strategy for research and data for the Association as a whole, with subsequent recruitment of a staffer to lead this function.

“A number of 91��ý units engage in research and data activities that benefit the library field,” said 91��ý President Cindy Hohl. “However, both the library community and 91��ý need a holistic resource and leader for research and data efforts—for all library types, all 91��ý units, and in partnership beyond the library community. Thus, an 91��ý-level entity for research and data is a strategic need.”

Denise Davis has extensive experience in library research and data, especially from her tenure as the director of 91��ý’s former Office for Research and Statistics, and as director of Statistics and Surveys for the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (now part of the Institute of Museum and Library Services). Davis has numerous articles published related to research and data in Public Libraries, Public Library Quarterly, and other outlets.

“I’m overjoyed to have Denise Davis advising us on the re-establishment of an 91��ý-wide research and data function,” said Alan Inouye, 91��ý’s interim chief advancement officer and interim associate executive director for Public Policy and Advocacy. “She will work with 91��ý Senior Fellow Marjory Blumental to collaborate with the 91��ý staff in formulating the strategy to launch an essential function that the primary association in a sector should have.”

91��ý Releases Free “Partnering for Stronger Programming: A Toolkit for Libraries”

HARATA — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 15:31:11 +0000

91��ý Releases Free “Partnering for Stronger Programming: A Toolkit for Libraries”

CHICAGO – Libraries do their best work when they work with partners. The 91��ý (91��ý) today announced the “Partnering for Stronger Programming: A Toolkit for Libraries”, a free resource created to help library workers consider the big-picture goals of library programming and determine ways to begin and sustain impactful partnerships.

The toolkit provides five tools for library workers with actionable steps to help partnerships grow sustainably, meet goals, expand organizational capacity, thoughtfully engage with partner audiences and more.

The five different tools can be used individually or in combination:

Tool 1: Determining Goals: Why Do We Work Together?
Tool 2: Determining Partnership Focus Areas: What Work Can We Do Together?
Tool 3: Determining Contributions: What Do We Each Bring to the Table?
Tool 4: Determining Partner Interactions: How Do We Work Together?
Tool 5: Determining Strengths and Weaknesses: What Does a Successful Partnership Look Like?

Get the toolkit here.

The 91��ý Public Programs Office will collect use cases from libraries that have utilized the toolkit. If your library uses all or part of the toolkit, we invite you to email publicprograms@ala.org.

“Partnering for Stronger Programming: A Toolkit for Libraries” is an output of Phase 2 of the National Impact of Library Public Programs Assessment (NILPPA). In 2021, 91��ý received additional funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to help equip libraries with information and tools to help them successfully fulfill their roles as civic and cultural hubs.

Through NILPPA, 91��ý and Knology, a social science research nonprofit, are working to document the characteristics, audiences, outcomes, and value of U.S. library public programming. Learn more about NILPPA and its resources.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through grants LG-250153-OLS-21, LG-96-17-0048-17 and LG-62-13-0210-13, and by funding from the 91��ý Cultural Communities Fund.

Tom C. Clark High School Awarded 91��ý’s 2024 Jaffarian Award for Freedom Walk Program

HARATA — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 13:20:37 +0000

Tom C. Clark High School Awarded 91��ý’s 2024 Jaffarian Award for Freedom Walk Program

CHICAGO — The 91��ý (91��ý) has awarded its 2024 Sara Jaffarian School Library Program Award to Tom C. Clark High School in San Antonio, Texas for its Freedom Walk program.

The $5,000 Jaffarian Award, supported by 91��ý’s Cultural Communities Fund, recognizes excellence in humanities programming in school libraries that serve grades K-12.

Selected from a competitive group of proposals, Tom C. Clark High School is the first high school to win the Jaffarian Award. This year, the Jaffarian Award included school libraries serving 9-12. Previously, only school libraries serving K-8 were eligible.

In the face of legislative threats and scrutiny against public school libraries and access to resources, Clark High School’s winning program centered on the freedom to read and engaged the community to understand the fundamental rights of students to access a diverse range of information and literature in their school library.

In 2023, Clark High School librarian, Lucy Podmore, redesigned the school’s traditional observance of Banned Books Week into a Freedom to Read Week, introducing the Freedom Walk, an all-encompassing event for students.

Collaborating with social studies teachers to align with curriculum, the Freedom Walk occurred during student lunch periods and comprised of five stations centered around various censorship issues: 1st Amendment rights, censorship terms, school district collection development and reconsideration policies, books as windows and mirrors, and voter registration/education. The interactive stations gave nearly 500 students the opportunity to reflect and learn about their own experiences with censorship through games and introspective prompts.

“The Freedom Walk stands as a vibrant example of how interactive and thoughtful programming can ignite engagement with critical societal issues among young people,” said Podmore. “The Freedom Walk is more than just an event; it's a catalyst for change, inspiring students to take an active role in their communities and in the broader democratic process.”

This year’s Jaffarian Award Committee was chaired by Anita Cellucci, library teacher, Westborough (Mass.) High School; Anne Link, K-5 media specialist, Bristol Elementary School, Webster Groves, Mo.; Carla Larsen, retired elementary school media specialist, South Washington County Schools Cottage Gove, Minn.; and Joe Zappitello, director, Harbor-Topky Public Library, Ashtabula, Ohio.

“The Award Committee was impressed by the emphasis on civil dialogue and the lasting student interest in the topics beyond the day of the event,” said Cellucci. “The level of collaboration with the community and the focus on censorship and advocacy made this a standout and relevant school program.”

The Jaffarian Award is administered by 91��ý’s Public Programs Office in cooperation with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL).

Applications for the 2025 award will open in February 2025. Application information, award guidelines and a list of previous winners are available at www.ala.org/jaffarian.
