Federal CARES ACT Recipients

Congratulations to these grant recipients

"Libraries are essential to their communities, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only served to highlight that need," said Daria Bossman, state librarian. "Libraries are a vital source for trusted community information, education, and connection."

Congratulations to All who applied and received these federal CARES ACT grants! In most cases these funds will be used to purchase new and expanded technology and online access.
