LATAH COUNTY LIBRARY DISTRICT RECEIVES NATIONAL GRANT FOR SMALL AND RURAL LIBRARIES

The Latah County Library District has recently been awarded a prestigious national grant aimed at bolstering small and rural libraries. This funding will specifically enhance services at the Kendrick Branch, reaching not only Kendrick but also the neighboring community of Juliaetta. The grant focuses on improving accessibility for residents with disabilities, ensuring that everyone can take advantage of library resources. This initiative is particularly significant as rural communities often grapple with limited access to information and essential services. By addressing these challenges, the grant reaffirms the vital role libraries play in fostering community engagement and support.

In addition to providing educational resources, libraries also offer critical personal finance assistance, making this funding even more impactful. The emphasis on inclusivity and accessibility highlights a growing recognition of the importance of libraries in rural settings. Overall, this grant represents a meaningful investment in the future of Latah County's library services.
