The Dollar General Literacy Foundation awarded the Washington Public Library a grant to help support their summer literacy programs. The $500 grant is part of over $7.1 million awarded to more than 900 schools, nonprofits and organizations across 43 states. The Washington Public Library will work with the Washington Community School District to offer active reading sessions for students in summer school. Also, they’ll offer an extension of the take-home reading log that usually runs only the month of June.
