Announcing the Rob-See-Co Rural Library Grant

Rob-See-Co is proud to announce the establishment of the Rob-See-Co Rural Library Grant program in honor of Agnes Robinson. Agnes Robinson was the grandmother of the current Rob-See-Co CEO, Rob Robinson, and a dedicated supporter of the Waterloo Public Library in Nebraska. In recognition of the company’s 10th anniversary and Agnes Robinson’s hard work and devotion to this rural library, the company is launching this program to support rural communities in the Rob-See-Co footprint.

In celebration of Rob-See-Co’s 10-year anniversary, a total of $10,000 will be awarded to selected rural libraries in the states of CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, ND, NE, OH, OK, SD, TX and WI. Funds can be used for core educational, preservation and interpretive purposes such as collection preservation, building maintenance repairs and improvements, support for funding traveling exhibits and speakers, support for attending workshops and programming or publications.

Applications will be mailed out to rural libraries on April 10th and submissions are due by June 30th. The winners will be announced on September 28, 2023, in conjunction with Rob-See-Co’s October 1st anniversary.
