The Garden City Library was awarded the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant, the “Children and Teen Book Enhancement Project.” Applicants were able to choose 4 lists of books they would like to receive should they be awarded the grant. They then will receive the books from 2 of their chosen lists, and the number of titles received is due to vendor availability. The Garden City Library will be notified in the next few weeks when the new books will be shipped.
Funds for this project were provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Library Services and Technology Act and were administered by the Utah State Library Division.
Additionally, the library is implementing a new project called “Try It Kits,” an idea generated from the “Make It – Try Something New” kits found at other libraries. These kits include such things as cake decorating, crochet, weaving, soldering, and more. Families with accounts in good standing can check out a kit to take home and try something new for two weeks at no charge. They hope to add more kits after a trial period.
Funding for this project will be provided through the nonprofit, “Friends of the Garden City Library.” Donations are readily and gratefully accepted for this and other programs at the library.
Preschool Story Time will resume October 3, 2018 at 11 a.m.
