ARPA GRANT FOR THE
GEP DODGE LIBRARY
The GEP Dodge Library, in Bennington, NH has been the recipient of $1,164.00 in grant funding thanks to the Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). These funds were made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the New Hampshire State Library. The grant funds received will support the Library’s literacy efforts to provide outdoor access to literature, story times and conservation education to families, Pierce School Elementary School students and visitors to the town’s park areas such as the Bruce Edes Memorial Forest, Sawyer Field, the Gladys Newhall Fields, Bennington’s Gazebo Park and the GEP Dodge Library.
The Grant Funds have been used to purchase materials needed to create 20 outdoor reading stanchions, books and materials needed to prepare the books for outdoor use. Any additional funding needed to complete the project will be received through donations from The GEP Dodge Library Friends, members of the Bennington Conservation Committee and from the Bennington Garage, Inc.
