Writing Grant Proposals: Tips for Educators and Others -- by Karen Lowe

While this book focuses on strategies for educators and media specialists to supplement meager budgets with grant funds, the principles of writing successful grant proposals will work for any grant seeker. Putting together a grant proposal is much like putting together a newspaper article. The grant reader wants to know who, what, when, why, where and how! This book answers all of those questions and more.

The updated version of Writing Grant Proposals: Tips for Educators and Others will be available for ordering on October 15, 2009 (see below)

2009 Resource Alignment: Providing Curriculum Support in the School Library Media Center -- by Karen Lowe

Have you ever tried to eat an elephant? That experience would be the closest analogy of the process of weeding, updating, and building a

school library media collection that supports the state curriculum in a given school. The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time; and the Resource alignment process will show the reader how to do this.

PLEASE NOTE: The “hot off the press” 2009 edition of Resource Alignment: Providing Curriculum Support in the School Library Media Center is now available for ordering. It has an updated Dewey weeding chart in the back, several updated figures, and, the CD has been updated.

Backward Glances

A Journal of Endings and Beginnings
-- by Karen Lowe

This journal is the record of my survival. It contains written snapshots of emotions and moods experienced during my healing process from divorce, assault, the death of my father, a failed relationship, and finally, renewal, recovery . . . and love. Although a cathartic experience for me, it will assure the reader that he or she is not alone. There is life after being wiped out by overwhelming pain, loss and emotional devastation. I salute all survivors!
