School districts and library systems can apply on behalf of their school or branch libraries. Each library may receive its own Bookshelf. The district or system office must, however, submit an application for each library.
To apply on behalf of multiple libraries, you will need to provide information about the district or system office and about each local library where the books will be sent. Books must be sent to local libraries. They cannot be sent to the central office.
Complete the application form as follows:
COVER SHEET
- For the Project Director, enter the name of the person in the central system/district office who is coordinating the project for multiple libraries.
- Enter the mailing address, e-mail address, phone number and fax number for the Project Director
LIBRARY INFORMATION
- Enter the name of the school or library branch and name of the person to whom the books should be sent in care of. (Example: Southeast Library C/O Jane Smith.)
- Enter this individual library's "type," "level," and "community size."
- Enter the Congressional District for this library. (Note: The branch might not be in the same Congressional District as the central system/district office.)
- Enter the ALA Membership Number (if applicable) for this library.
- Enter the shipping address for the individual school or library branch.
- Enter the name and title of the authorizing official for the whole school district or library system.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
If you have a district-wide or system-wide strategy for using the Bookshelf, you may use the same project description on each application. We suggest you prepare this in a word processing document, then simply cut and paste it into the application form for each individual school or branch library.
