A Little Light Goes a Long Way
If you’re reading this, I probably don’t need to tell you that librarians are some of the most creative, community-focused problem solvers out there. Every day, we dream up new ways to reach kids and families—often while working with shoestring budgets, limited staff time, and an endless list of parameters. Sometimes, it’s hard to reach everyone, and when it comes to those who need library services most, help is on the way! We’re so excited to announce that the ALSC Programs and Services Recognition Committee is now accepting applications for the 2026 ALSC/Candlewick “Light the Way” Grant! This annual award is generously sponsored by Candlewick Press and is presented in honor ofKate DiCamillo and the themes she so eloquently portrays in her novels. The grant provides$3,000 to help a library conduct impactful outreach to underserved populations through a newprogram or an expansion of existing work. Who Can Your Project Serve?…
