The Warner Library is expanding a program inside its walls thanks to a recently acquired grant. 

Bobbi Perryman, Executive Director of the Warner Library, explains they secured a grant from the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation's Youth Engaged in Philanthropy program to add to its youth programming lineup. 

According to Perryman, the money will be used for take-home science kits. They range from pre-k to junior high level with lessons focused on animals to renewable energy. 

Perryman adds nothing compares to learning by being hands-on. She notes there are not many nearby children's museums, so this is a big help when it comes to educating youth in Clinton. 

This is not the first time the Warner Library has been supported by IPCF grants. Perryman points out the IPCA has been a big supporter of the library over the years. 

Once the library receives the kits, they will be located on the children's floor at the library, and Perryman hopes that will be in about a month. Get more information at vwarner.org.
