[Michlib-l] Metro-Detroit Book & Author Society Fall 2013 Grants: Dick Johnston Award and Elaine R. Irvin Friends Award

[Laurel Brandt]

This announcement is being sent to several lists. Please excuse any
duplication.

An incorrect application form for the Dick Johnston Award was attached to
the previous announcement of the Metro-Detroit Book & Author Society Fall
2013 grants. The corrected application form is attached. Another copy of
the application form for the Elaine R. Irvin Friends Award is also
attached. I apologize for the confusion.

The grants will be awarded at the October 21, 2013, Book & Author Luncheon
at Burton Manor in Livonia. The winners will receive a free ticket to the
Fall 2013 luncheon and must be present to receive the grant.

Grant winners are also required to submit a 22’’ x 28” project report
poster showing how the grant was used to be displayed at the Spring 2014
luncheon.

Information about the grants is below. Application forms with instructions
and reporting requirements are attached. Applications are due on Monday,
September 23, 2013.

1. The Dick Johnston Award: $2000. This grant is awarded to a public
library in the metro-Detroit area for the purpose of establishing or
improving a library collection. The award was established to honor the late
Dick Johnston, who was a member of the Metro-Detroit Book & Author Society
and served as its President in 1980 and 1981. Mr. Johnston was also
President of the Michigan Library Association and Director of the
Birmingham and Bloomfield Township Libraries.

2. The Elaine R. Irvin Friends Award: $1000. This grant is awarded to a
Friends of the Library group in the metro-Detroit area to support a program
or project that fills a significant need affecting the library's patrons
and community. The award was established to honor the late Elaine R. Irvin,
who was a devoted member of the Metro-Detroit Book & Author Society Board
for many years. Elaine worked for the Friends of the Detroit Public Library
and was dedicated to the principle that "good libraries need good Friends."
