The Richmond Memorial Library in Batavia has been awarded a "We the People Bookshelf
Collection" from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the
American Library Association. The 22 books in the collection span grades K-12 and include three Spanish translations.
The award is part of the NEH's initiative supporting projects that strengthen the teaching, study and understanding of American history and culture. Four thousand libraries nationwide received this grant of classic books with the theme "Picturing America." As a participant, Richmond staff will present book discussions, speakers and activities focused on this theme.
Programs will be free and open to the public. Check the library website www.batavialibrary.org <http://www.batavialibrary.org/> for more information as these programs are developed.
