50% Matching Grant Program now available for schools libraries and educators

Oct. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- As the leading publisher of children's non fiction books, Usborne Books & More
carries over 1400 Usborne and Kane Miller titles, including fiction, story books, activity books and more.

    The Literacy for a Lifetime program matches any corporate or
individual donation or grant that purchases books from Usborne Books  with an additional 50% in free books.  

    For example, when a corporation donates $1,000 to a local elementary school,
when the donation is used to purchase Usborne Books, Usborne  will donate an additional $500 in books to the school.

    A Literacy for a Lifetime matching grant program is an excellent way to expand a library collection, build a leveled book room, or provide supplemental classroom materials.

    The Literacy for a Lifetime program can also be used with the following:
                          State and Federal grants such as:
                         Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies
                          Literacy through School Libraries
                          Migrant Education
                          Even Start
                          Special Education Preschool Grants
                          Small, Rural School Achievement Program
                          Education for Homeless Children and Youth
                          Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers
                          Reading First
                          Early Reading First
                          Striving Readers
                          Corporate donations or grants
                          Foundation grants
                          PTA/PTSA grants
                          Individual donations
