Senator Patrick M. Gallivan (R-C-I, Elma) announced grants to eleven public libraries in Erie County that are located in the 59th State Senate District. The libraries will share a total of $32,500.
“Public libraries enrich the lives of residents of all ages by providing access to books, films, computers and the internet,” Gallivan said. “People can do research, advance their education, write a resume or search for a job from the comfort of their neighborhood library.
