Snapdragon Book Foundation School Library Grant
Sponsored by Snapdragon Book Foundation

The Snapdragon Book Foundation provides funds to improve school libraries for disadvantaged children.

In a time when many schools are reallocating their funds to technology and audiovisual equipment, Snapdragon Book Foundation hopes to make sure that school libraries are still offering children good books to read. Grant funding is to be spent on traditional books, as well as processing fees (e.g. barcoding, spine labels, etc.).
