Mt. Gilead Library receives a grant for children’s materials

The Mount Gilead Pub­lic Library recently received a grant in the amount of $5,000 for the pur­chase of children’s materials.

The Dorothy Louise Kyler Foun­da­tion, located in Toledo, funded the grant to many libraries across the state. Con­nie Conant, children’s librar­ian and author of the grant request, indi­cated that the money will be used to pur­chase books in the non-fiction sec­tion of the children’s library as well as age appro­pri­ate music.

In the era of shrink­ing bud­gets, the money from this grant will allow the Mount Gilead Pub­lic Library to pro­vide our youngest patrons with more choices in these two areas in order to help them under­stand con­cepts and learn more about the world around them.
