August 26, 2023 - We at the Fannie Brown Booth Memorial Library are very excited to receive the 2023 Texas Book Festival Award grant of $2500. With this grant, we will be purchasing books for our Hispanic and Seniors populations and put some much-needed books into circulation. We hope that this will also increase our circulation. We are already planning ways to promote the new Spanish books and books for the Seniors in our community so be looking for opportunities to learn about the new books in the coming weeks.
Our library director, Sandra Davis, says, “We are very appreciative of the grant we have received. This will allow us to purchase more large print books and new, up-to-date books on topics that our Seniors are interested in. We have also had many requests for books in Spanish and English to help our Hispanic population advance in English as a second language. We are going to reach out to the population through the churches and schools and senior centers to promote our new books. We will also have books on display at the library as they become available.”
