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 eighteen Kentucky libraries.

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 to apply for libraries to host a Prime Time Family Reading Time Program during the 2012 calendar year is September 30, 2011. Click here for application form.
