[Bookstoprisoners] grant proposal

[Niloofar Shambayati]

Leslie, thanks for your thoughful comments.  I agree with your assessment of the type of projects they'd like to fund.  Our mission is a tough sale, especially since the direct beneficiaries are not necessarily part of our community.  I think the chances of getting a share of this grant would greatly increase, if our local jails would be the focus of the proposal.  Since I have no experience in this area, I'd like to pick the brains of our jail-libraries volunteers to find out whether and in what ways their work would be facilitated and improved by a modest grant money. If a valuable project affecting our work at the jails can be identified, I say we should apply.  Purchasing dictionaries, GED books, may be even paying a librarian for a few hours per week (too ambitious or beyond our parameters?) etc... Please send out your feedbacks.
