Description
The Paul Post Fund for Libraries, administered by the Vermont Community Foundation, supports Vermont libraries in encouraging and enhancing reading by young adults. Its primary interest is literacy projects that engage young people through reading materials, enrichment activities, reading-related events, and library spaces.
Supported projects include acquiring books, graphic novels, and e-books for young adults when purchases include plans for use beyond simply adding materials to the collection. The fund also supports reading enrichment programs, seminars and workshops relating to reading—including author visits—and small capital improvements to young adult or children’s sections of libraries.
