From the Foundation's brochure:
The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization that donates new, quality children's books fo small, rural public libraries in the United States.
The Foundation supports the concept that children who learn to enjoy reading at an early age continue to read throughout their lives. In order to develop a love of reading, children must have access to books. For many children in rural communities, the local public library is their primary source of these books.
The Foundation, by matching funds with local organizations, enables a library to obtain children's books it could not otherwise acquire due to budgetary constraints.
The local librarian, familiar with the needs of the library and the community selects the books from a list provided by the Foundation. All the titles have won awards or have been highly recommended by recognized authorities in the library and education fields.
The library received $1,400 worth of quality childrens's books: fiction, non-fiction, math, and science books. $1050 was provided by the Libri Foundation and $350 from our local Friends of the Library. This translated into 84 new books for our children's department.
For the time being, these delightful books are being shelved together in a special location so they can be browsed and appreciated.
