Penguin Random House and United for Libraries announced during National Library Week the 51 recipients of a new grant program serving rural and small libraries across the country. I am happy to tell you that the Liberty Library was a recipient. The only library in Maine! We received an in-kind book donation grant of $500 awarded to 20 libraries to purchase Penguin Random House titles.

Liberty Library also received a yearly grant of $1231 to help bolster collections from the Rose and Samuel Rudman Library Trust, through the Maine Community Foundation. This grant can be used to provide collection development and programming support to rural Maine libraries in Aroostook, Hancock, Knox, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Waldo and Washington Counties.
