Ranzenhofer Secures $54,000 For Genesee County Libraries

State Senator Michael H. Ranzenhofer has announced today $54,000 in state funding for public libraries throughout Genesee County.  

“From summer reading programs to job searching tools, public libraries enrich our communities by providing invaluable services to residents. Local libraries operate with a limited budget, and this state funding will help to offer more services to their patrons,” said Ranzenhofer.

The total funding will be distributed among Genesee County’s six public libraries:
•    Byron-Bergen Library, $9,000;
•    Corfu Free Library, $9,000;
•    Haxton Memorial Library; $9,000;
•    Hollwedel Memorial Library, $9,000;
•    Richmond Memorial Library, $9,000; and
•    Woodward Memorial Library, $9,000.

The funding can be used for a variety of purposes, including capital improvements, new books, learning materials, software, programming and computers. The funding is part of the 2017-18 State Budget. The funding is administered by the New York State Education Department.
