Library Collection Enhancement Grant Application

Book & Author Society Collection Grant Application

The Book & Author Society Collection Grant funds one $1,000 project annually to a public library in Michigan for the creation or enhancement of a physical or digital circulating collection. The proposed project should fill a need, encourage patron use of the library's physical or digital collection, and be curated for patrons of a variety of demographic backgrounds. Since only one grant will be given per year, Book & Author Society expects a highly competitive group of applicants.
Applications open June 1, 2026, and close July 13, 2026. Awardee expected to be contacted by August 3, 2026, and the grant presented at the Book and Author Event on Monday, September 14, 2026.
