The library was awarded 2 grants this year to expand the collection and programming within the youth and teen department. The first grant was the Library Services and Technology Act Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. With this grant we were able to purchase over 165 books that highlighted the diversity in our growing community.

With this grant we were able to purchase a selection of audiobooks for the children’s department. This is a very unique selection of VOX Books and Playaways that we hope will be beneficial to our
