Oct. 1 is the deadline for implementation grants in the NEH Schools for a New Millennium program, now in its third year. These projects will create national models that address the educational requirements of the next century. Directors of the 14 Millennium School projects that received planning grants in July will meet Oct. 6-7 at NEH to discuss their projects and exchange ideas. Participating public radio stations throughout each region will air 13 one-hour weekly programs, each featuring a different book. Both fiction and nonfiction will be included.
Listeners can interact with authors and other guests by calling a toll-free telephone number.
Program books, discussion guides, and supplemental reading lists will be available from participating libraries. Tapes of each radio show will also be available at the end of each series. And there s more. All Things Considered. The grants, for which preference is given to smaller cultural organizations, help institutions examine and maximize their resources for reaching larger audiences.
