Get free books for your public library from ALA
January 5th, 2006 by Andrea MercadoFor the first time ever, we will be awarding a Bookshelf - 15 classic books for young readers on the theme of “Becoming American” - to 2,000 school and public libraries. This is four times the number of Bookshelves we’ve awarded in the past for a single application deadline! We hope you’ll take advantage of this easy opportunity to acquire free books for your library.
Guidelines and the online application are available at www.ala.org/wethepeople from September 6, 2005 - January 17, 2006. Libraries interested in receiving the collection are required to develop and host a program to introduce the collection and its theme of “Becoming American” to students and/or patrons. Unlike past We the People Bookshelves, there will be no second deadline for “Becoming American.” All applications are due by January 17, 2006.
To access a list of titles and further details, please visit http://www.ala.org/wethepeople. With questions, contact publicprograms [at] ala [dot] org.

Multiple libraries within a system or school district may apply for and receive a Bookshelf. For tips on applying on behalf of multiple locations, visit http://www.wethepeople.gov/bookshelf/becomingamerican-system.html.
