Maine Library District Association on behalf of the Maine Regional Library System, part of the Maine State Library, recently received a $50,000.00 grant from the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation to automate small public libraries in Maine. Approximately twenty small libraries will be selected and will receive two computers, a two-year subscription to LibraryWorld software, along with consulting, planning and training assistance.
Small libraries need this project to bring them up to today’s standards and so that they can be viable in their community and in the larger Maine library world.
