Peoria public libraries will receive a $8,615 grant for new materials
Posted

The Peoria public libraries will receive a $8,615 grant to purchase new materials in support of the community’s reading and learning interests.
During the pandemic, officals say library patrons have been interested in adding to their skill sets.
The grant will increase residents' exposure to new trends and ideas in reading and viewing topical areas, such as do-it-yourself textile projects, animals, cookery, as well as popular and classic films.
In 1981, the Arizona Legislature developed the State Grants-In-Aid program to help Arizona libraries meet the information needs of Arizona residents. Annual awards go to county and municipal libraries serving populations of 100,000 or more.
The Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records administers the SGIA program, and the recently awarded grant will be used during fiscal year 2021.
