GIVING BACK | 7 November 2015 Program Overview: The Grant County Library Foundation has been assisting the Grant County Library for over 20 years. By working together, the Foundation and the Library have been able to improve library services in Grant County. In the past, funding provided by the Foundation has allowed for a workroom addition on the library building, expanded the collection, and supported the Summer Reading Program. Currently, the Foundation is planning to build an energy-efficient and low maintenance library building that will be easily accessible to the public and will serve our county well into the future. This new building will meet ADA standards and provide space for meetings and classes, computers and special collections as well as the current library collection. We have purchased the property on Canton Street in John Day, beside the Kam Wah Chung Interpretive Center, as the site for the new building. That transaction was paid for by grants and local donations. The Foundation is continuing to fundraise so that we can design and build the new structure.
