Looking For A Grant Resource? We've Got That!

Good news! We subscribe to Foundation Directory Online, the nation’s leading online funding research tool that local grant-seekers and other nonprofit executives can use free to help find funding so they can fulfill the missions of their organizations.

On Foundation Directory Online, nonprofits will find more than 100,000 funders and details about more than 2.4 million recent grants. The directory is only accessible at KHCPL Main, 220 N. Union St., during regular library hours. You will need to go to the Reference Desk to get assistance with the login.

“The Foundation Directory is a wonderful resource for every nonprofit in this community,” said Kisha Fairchild of 4 Community Partners. “In my 10 years in development, it is by far the best database that I have used to search for foundation funding.”

We know that money is tight for nonprofits in this economy. Leaders in the nonprofit community asked us to subscribe to Foundation Directory Online, and we are happy to be able to do so. One of our goals is to partner with the community, and this is just another way to meet that goal. We’re excited to see what kind of funding opportunities local nonprofits will be able to tap into through the database.

Summer Reading Club 2013

Summer Reading Club 2013 - Dig Into Reading!

You’re going to really dig this year’s Summer Reading Club: Dig Into Reading!

Join us at the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library's South location (1755 E Center Rd., Kokomo) from 6-8 p.m. on Monday, June 3, for the GO UNDERGROUND kickoff party. There will be FREE food, games, and fun!

Duke Energy is providing some of the funding for the SRC program. You won’t want to miss Grammy nominee Zak Morgan’s songs that inspire and tickle the funny bones of children and adults.

Is the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library’s Summer Reading Club just for kids? No! It’s for teens and adults, too.

A special marketing campaign called GNOME MARKS THE SPOT: FIND THE HIDDEN TREASURES AT KHCPL will be tied into the Summer Reading Club. We have a number of ways you can collect gnomes and win prizes! Kokomantis is getting in on the fun, too!

Thanks to First Farmers Bank & Trust, the EXPLORE THE DEPTHS OF KOKOMO BEACH final party for the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library’s Summer Reading Club includes two free hours of swimming at Kokomo Beach from 7 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 27. It's for Summer Reading Club participants only, so make sure you sign up! 

We Want Your Paperback Books

If you have paperback books written by best-selling authors (including, but not limited to, James Patterson, Stephen King, John Grisham, and Stuart Woods) and no longer want them, please consider donating them to the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library’s Outreach Department.
