In celebration of Rob-See-Co’s 10-year anniversary this year, we announced (this past spring) the establishment of the Rob-See-Co Rural Library Grant. We were humbled by the overwhelming response form rural libraries, receiving over 500 applications. As a result, we are finalizing the awarded grant recipients this week and will be informing all applicants over the next few weeks.

Rural libraries are a vital resource and make it possible for anyone to pick up a book and enter a new world for a little while. Of course, there is so much more—digital services, traveling exhibits and speakers, community events and workshops, and the list goes on. To all the amazing people who help run these cherished spaces for their communities—Thank You!
