[Publib] Apply by November 14 for Picturing America!

[Angela Thullen]

The National Endowment for the Humanities, in cooperation with the ALA
Public Programs Office, is accepting online applications for Picturing
America through November 14 (please note: extended deadline) at
http://picturingamerica.neh.gov. 

 

Picturing America is a free educational resource that helps teach
American history and culture by bringing some of our nation's greatest
works of art directly to classrooms and libraries.  At no cost,
recipients will receive a set of high-quality reproductions of 40 pieces
of great American art (each approximately 24 inches by  36 inches) and
an illustrated teachers resource book with information about the artists
and artwork and lesson ideas for all grade levels to facilitate the use
of the reproductions in core subject areas.  Additional educational
resources are also available through the Picturing America Web site,
http://picturingamerica.neh.gov. Resources to support public library
programming will be added in the spring.

 

All public libraries, schools (K-12, public, private, parochial, charter
and home school consortia) in the United States and its territories who
have not previously received Picturing America may apply for the program
through November 14 at http://picturingamerica.neh.gov.  Additionally,
other libraries (academic, special, research) with programs and
collections for the general public are eligible to apply. Please note
that previous recipients of the Picturing America collection are not
eligible for a second award.
