Vespasian Warner Public Library Recipient of Many Grants

Earlier this week we learned about a grant the Vespasian Warner Public Library received from the Illinois State Library. The library also received a few other grants.

 

Vespasian Warner Public Library Business Manager Samantha Rusk notes the library has been busy applying for grants. They recently received a grant from Illinois Humanities.

 

 

With a grant from the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation, Warner Library was able to purchase a laptop. Rusk indicates this is something that has been requested by patrons for use for things like online video meetings.

 

 

Rusk says a grant from Youth Engaged in Philanthropy has allowed them to add more items to their children's collection regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion.

 

 

Youth Services Manager Corey Campbell says the library has added over 100 items so far thanks to the grant. He notes the goal of this collection was to educate the community about the lives and experiences of others.

 

 

To stay up to date on all things Vespasian Warner Public Library visit the library at 310 N Quincy St, call (217) 935-5174, online at vwarner.org, and on all social media pages.
