NNLM Region 7 is excited to announce the Collection Equity Award.

The Award is designed to help build collections that are reflective of voices of the communities served which may be revealed through different genres such as graphic medicine, fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, Young Adult, manuscripts (published and unpublished), oral histories and film. Expanding diverse voices in libraries (all types), public health agencies, academic programs, or community organizations ensures collection equity and supports health literacy by illuminating health issues either common, or conversely, unique to undeserved populations in the region.

• Funding Period: March 19, 2024- April 30, 2024
• Amount: Up to $2,000
• Application Deadline: March 26, 2024

The RFP and application (download) are available on the website.

Applications must be received by 12pm EST on March 26,2024.
