Grant News!

Hot off the presses--here is some great news for our Libraries!  

North Boone CUSD #200 is proud to announce that they are the recipients of a $5,000 "Back to Books" grant from the Illinois State Library. The grant project is called "Down on the Farm: Books for Kids in Rural Communities" and books on topics such as hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, cooking, gardening, horses, ATVs, and skateboarding will be purchased.  “I am pleased to be able to award these grants that will allow library users to be better educated and entertained,” said Secretary of State and State Librarian, Jesse White. “Our libraries perform so many essential tasks, but at their core what our libraries do best is make books and other materials available to patrons.”

Also in Library news:  Poplar Grove School is expanding the summer Library program this summer!  The Library will be open 2 times during the week, with one time being in the evening. This will accommodate people who are unable to attend during the day.  Exact times will be announced before the end of the year!

Happy Reading!!!
