Meek Center Library Receives Grant

The Carrie P. Meek Entrepreneurial Education Center has been selected to receive a Great Stories Club grant from the American Library Association.

The Great Stories Club is a program designed to encourage younger generations to read, discuss and relate to literature. The program is possible with support from the Young Adult Library Services Association, and financial funding provided by Oprah’s Angel Network.

As part of the grant, the center will receive 11 copies of each of the following books: Hate Listby Jennifer Brown; Dope Sick, by Walter Dean Myers and The Brothers Torres by Coert Voorhees.

The library was also awarded a hundred dollar cash grant to sup- port the program. The books are expected to be available at the library by the end of January.
