Description
The Woll Memorial Fund, administered by the Texas Library Association (TLA), honors Christina Woll’s love of reading and commitment to providing quality literature for children. It supports Texas school and public libraries with specific goals and demonstrated needs in children’s collection development, with awards based on the merits of individual applications.
The fund recognizes a commitment to quality children’s literature and needs to develop or enhance a particular collection, improve a library program, or support part of the curriculum. Proposed projects should explain how children’s books will address those needs, why regular library funds are inadequate, and how the project will benefit the population served.
