Summary: Purchase books and materials for Little Libraries
Boise Centennial Rotary has identified Basic Education and Literacy as one of its primary areas of focus. To improve literacy outcomes in our community, BCR has partnered with local preschools and schools to provide reading and reference materials in classrooms and little libraries.
We plan to build 2 little libraries (approximately $350 each to build and register). We will use the remainder of the funds to purchase books to stock the libraries, as well as partner with local schools to provide books and/or reference materials for classrooms, according to the specific needs of our partner schools.
Our goals are:
1) to provide children in the community with reading materials to improve education outcomes
2) to spread awareness of Rotary's mission by placing a Rotary sticker in each book as well as signage on the libraries
3) to engage Club members in this work (book distribution, building of little libraries)

I'm reminding that you have a report due on this grant by May 15th, 2025. If the project is completed, submit a final report. You'll find the final report form on the admin side of the description tab for download. Complete the report, save as pdf and upload to the documents tab along with supporting receipts, then click "reported" on the admin side of the description tab. If project is not complete, provide a progress report by sending a history log email stating when you started the project, what percent complete it is and when you anticipate being wrapped up. That's all we need for a progress report. Failure to report may impact your club's ability to receive a grant in the 2025-26 cycle, so please get your report in. Call Marianne 208 308-5617 if you have questions or need help.
