What's New


Letters About Literature, a national reading and writing promotion program of Humanities Montana and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, invites young readers in grades 4 – 12 to enter this year’s LAL letter writing competition.

Young readers simply write a personal letter to an author explaining how that author’s work somehow changed the reader’s view of their world. Read more on the Humanities Montana and Letters About Literature websites.

Thanks so much for your advocacy!

We're pleased to announce that your advocacy for the humanities helped produce a $5.4 million increase in funding for the Federal/State Partnership of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

What does that mean for Montanans? Approximately $70,000 in additional funds for humanities programs around this great state.

Thanks to the 65 folks who took the time to write our congressional delegation. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
