new_lgp_larabeelibrarynewspic
The three libraries in Stafford County were awarded a $15,000 grant through the South Central Community Foundation, to be split equally between the three entities. Pictured left to right is Hannah Bruner - South Central Community Foundation, Gerry Hildebrand - Stafford Librarian, Jody Suiter - Macksville Librarian, Jo McFadden - St. John Librarian and Ben Jones - South Central Community Foundation.
Monday afternoon I took a drive to Macksville to meet the other Librarians in the county at the Macksville Library. Jody Suiter, the Macksville librarian, had encouraged us to join forces and try for the South Central Community Foundation $15,000 Community Grant. A grant application for the $15,000 called “Libraries Unite for Positive Outreach” was written where each library expressed their individual plans to enrich their library’s outreach to the youth in their area and ultimately through the grant, enrich services for youth over the entire County.
