BREAKING THROUGH FOR LITERACY

Bette Fenton, Communications, Public Relations, and Minneapolis Sales Development Director for the Star Tribune, a Cowles Media newspaper, has been instrumental in providing leadership for the private sector's involvement in funding literacy projects in libraries. Her commitment to literacy and the literacy arts is reflected in the grant‐making of her employers, formerly B. Dalton Books and now Cowles Media. Her work with the Cowles Media Foundation involves meeting with grantseekers, working with community agencies, and leveraging foundation funding by building partnerships with other private funders and governmental agencies.
