(KLZA)-- The Falls City Library & Arts Center has been awarded the Nebraska Library Commission- Youth Grant for Excellence for 2024.
The funds received will go toward a new program entitled Traveling Tales, that will allow the children- librarian to visit Falls City day cares and preschools to provide a story-time program similar to what is provided at the library.
Many of the children in the community do not have the opportunity to participate in these programs due to their parents’ work schedules or the library- operating hours.
Thanks to this grant, and required matching funds generously provided by The Friends of the Library, material have been purchased to create 25 tote bags of various themes that will include an activity/game/puzzle, and either a craft or coloring page.
These bags will also be available for checkout to library patrons.
An open-house is scheduled for Thursday, April 11 from 5pm-6:15pm at the library to give the community a first-hand look at these new materials and answer any questions about the new Traveling Tales program.
