Senator Patrick M. Gallivan (R-C-I, Elma) announced grants for more than two dozen public libraries throughout the 59th State Senate District, which covers all of Wyoming County and portions of Erie, Livingston and Monroe counties. In all, 26 libraries will share a total of $70,000.
“Public libraries are an integral part of our communities and provide important services for residents of all ages,” Gallivan said. “They provide knowledge and enrichment through books, videos, computers and the internet and allow people to conduct research, advance their education or search for a job. In many communities, the library also serves as a meeting place for residents and organizations.”
The grants are to be used for technology related programs and services, including the purchase of computer equipment, or security related items. The following libraries will receive funding:
