The Margaret Murray Grant 2024
The purpose of the Margaret Murray Grant is to advance library programming and literacy for Mississippi public libraries through activities sponsored by the local Friends of Mississippi Libraries chapters.

Grants for 2024 are $500 and four chapters will be awarded. Successful applicants agree to match grant funds at the minimum of 10% ($50.00) in local financial support.

Deadline: February 29th, 2024.
Awards will be announced: April 1st, 2024.
