About the Grant
"Research demonstrates that people value libraries and see them as essential community cornerstones. When asked how to enhance libraries, users and non-users alike want more current materials."
"Building on existing relationships with 12 libraries in the South Central Library System, Madison Community Foundation awarded $27,500 for each library to build specific collections that serve its unique community. These collections benefit the entire system through interlibrary loan and collaborative efforts to make people aware of new materials and the topics."
