The Jeffco Public library announced last week it has received a state grant that will be used for the purchase of educational materials.
The grant, which totals $131,272, was awarded by the Colorado State Library through the State Grants to Libraries Act. The funds will be budgeted as 2017 revenue and will be used to purchase books for the library’s childhood literacy programs, a Jeffco Public Library news release stated.
The Jeffco Public Library is the third largest public library in the state. In addition to various grants, the Jeffco Public Library is funded by countywide property taxes and supplemented by charitable donations from the Jefferson County Library Foundation.
