The Limestone Township Library has received a $1,400 grant through the
Libri Foundation and matching funds from the Limestone Township Friends of the Library organization (LTFOL).
The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries in the United States through its BOOKS FOR CHILDREN program. The Libri Foundation was established in 1989 for the sole purpose of helping rural libraries acquire new, quality, hardcover children's books they could not otherwise afford. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated over $5.25 million worth of new children's books to more than 3,000 libraries in all 50 states.
The Limestone Township Library is thankful not only for the original grant, but for the additional $350 in bonus grant funds it received from the Libri Foundation for math and science children’s books, bringing the grant total for purchasing new children’s books to $1,400.
The library was able to purchase 81 new children’s books, including 19 books dedicated to math and science for children.
