NORWOOD – The Norwood Library purchased 76 new children’s books thanks to a recent ‘Books for Children’ grant from the Libri Foundation in Eugene, Oregon.
The grant is available to rural libraries demonstrating financial difficulty in buying children’s books. The library purchased $1,050 in a variety of books geared to 7 to 12 year olds including the Gary Paulsen and Rick Riordan series.
They also qualified for an additional $350 in math and science offerings since the Friends of the Norwood Library matched the amount.
“We tried to choose an assortment of books that would appeal to all interests,” said Penny Clark, library trustee and secretary. “Our math and science books range from dinosaurs to robots, as well as interesting occupation choices like forensics.”
