NEA's Books Across America Library Books Awards

These $5,000 awards help public schools serving economically disadvantaged students to purchase books for school libraries. The NEA Foundation makes these awards in collaboration with the National Education Association. The 2007 NEA’s Books Across America Library Books Awards are made possible with support from individuals who donated to NEA’s Books Across America fund to bring the gift of reading to students affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma
