The Libraries for Literacy council met on November 17 to review grant applications for the Libraries for Literacy Close the Book on Hunger grants. The council decided to award a grant of $2,458.44 to Jack C. Binion Elementary School Library in the Birdville ISD. The council also decided to hold another grant period next March. It was also decided to develop a logo for the program that can be used on all future grants applications and marketing material. Adam Wright met with the North Texas Future Fund (NTFF) who shares a prime initiative of combating illiteracy.
