NCSLMA Previous Read2Succeed Grant Winners

The North Carolina School Library Media Association is pleased to offer Read2Succeed grants to NCSLMA members. These grants are available to K-12 media coordinators, in partnership with classroom teachers, for innovative projects that foster integration of media / information skills into the K-12 curriculum. The focus of the Read2Succeed grant program is on individual media coordinators and teachers rather than on district-wide projects.
