KPL Foundation Support

Our KPL Foundation awarded us $29,500 in grants to support three different projects.
  • To help us pay for a new $12,000 generator for the bookmobile, the Foundation will cover the cost of the computer bar we will install later this year in the SW lobby, a cost we had planned for in our budget. We will use the support to get the bookmobile up and running reliably! And we'll place some signage along the computer bar thanking the Foundation for their generosity.
  • Migrating to SHARE means we need to transfer our website to a different software product. That's tremendously time intensive. This week the Foundation voted to provide $15,000 to hire a company to do that work for us! 
  • Jill has been planning a Summer of Shakespeare for our community, and the Foundation enthusiastically supported that idea by offering to raise $2500 in support.
If you see any of our Foundation members, please let them know how much we appreciate their support!
