Grant provides new books for Agnes Little library
Jennifer Sweet, Agnes Little Elementary School librarian, has received a $5,000 grant from the Laura Bush foundation to purchase new books for the school library.
Sweet said she was in disbelief when she learned she received the grant. Normally she only has money she makes from the Scholastic Book Fair to buy books and supplies for the library, she said, and since the fair was canceled last fall, this grant will allow her to purchase a lot of new books.
“The average age of the books in our library is 20 years old,” she said. “I am looking to use this grant money to update our fiction and nonfiction sections so I can better accommodate the students and teachers with beneficial resources they need in addition to what they use in the classroom.”
