About TBF’s Collections Enhancement Grants

Since Texas Book Festival’s founding in 1995, it has been a part of our mission to promote literacy and support Texas libraries. Each year, funds raised during the annual Texas Book Festival Weekend support grants that are distributed to libraries across Texas the following year. To date, the organization has funded 1,402 grants totaling more than $3.5 million to 600+ libraries in every corner of the state.

Texas Book Festival awards grants to support collection enhancement for Texas public libraries. This funding enables libraries to share the diversity and breadth of literature with their entire communities. Funding comes from book sales during Texas Book Festival weekend and from support from our generous donors.
