By this time next year, scores of young Kentuckians will be reading better and enjoying it more. That's because the Kentucky Humanities Council, in cooperation with the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, is bringing an award-winning family literacy program to sixteen Kentucky counties.
Prime Time Family Reading Time is supported by We The People grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, the Scripps Howard Foundation, and by contributions from donors like you.
The application deadline had passed for libraries to host a Prime Time Family Reading Time Program during the 2010 calendar year. However, if you are interested in hosting a program in 2011 you can complete the form and we will keep it on file. Click here for application form.
