We are excited to share that we are a round two recipient of @American Library Association's Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities initiative. Walnut Public Library Director, Jaclyn Trujillo, applied for the $10,000 grant as a collaborative initiative to become a stronger community resource for all families served throughout the Bureau Valley School District. Bureau Valley School Librarian, Mary Heing, is excited for the new flexible seating opportunities amongst other new resources and tools that will be readily available for the young adults while visiting the library. Walnut Public Library will utilize round two funds and will continue to expand the resources available to the public utilizing remaining funds from being a round one recipient.
