 HENRY S. OLCOTT MEMORIAL LIBRARY


 

     

Library Receives Grant 

The Henry S. Olcott Memorial Library was recently awarded a "Back to Books" grant in the amount of $4,250.00 for a project entitled "Creativity as a Spiritual Path." These funds may be used for purchases including fiction and/or non-fiction books in a variety of formats, languages and reading levels. Acceptable materials include: Books, Large-print books, Audio books, Graphic Novels, and Educational CDs or DVDs. 

 

As part of the grant agreement, to bring attention to the new materials, beginning in September, the library will host seven Saturday programs on the theme of "Creativity as a Spiritual Path." In addition, also beginning in September, the library will host a seven-class webinar on the theme, specifically based on "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron.

 

We have created a blog on the Library News portion of the website specifically for news about this grant. Please check it each month to stay informed!
