The Federated States of Micronesia will use grant funds to support the summer reading program and related site visits to three of its main islands - Chuuk, Kosrae and Yap. The program will engage two groups of children (K-4th and 5th-8th grades), will continue increasing their literacy, and will connect them to the services available in public libraries. Project leads will partner with Yap Public Library, the Pohnpei Public Library, the Chuuk Children's Library and the Rose Mackwelung Public Library in Kosrae. Grant funds will also support staff participation in the Pacific Islands Association of Libraries, Archives, and Museums (PIALA) conference.
