Leland Township Public Library has been selected as one of 300 libraries nationwide to receive a grant through Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities, an initiative of the American Library Association (ALA). This competitive program provides support for community engagement and improved accessibility in small and rural libraries.
The $10,000 grant will allow the library to install an ADAcompliant automatic door, enhancing access for older adults, patrons with disabilities, and caregivers with strollers or young children.
“We are so proud to be chosen to receive this award,” said Library Director Mark Morton. “This grant will allow our library to better serve all of our patrons and ensure that everyone can enter our building independently and feel welcome in our space.”
