The Grant County Public Library is in the process of completing the final paperwork to accept a $10,000 ARPA grant. The library’s administration partnered with state representatives to complete the grant form in November 2021, and will finish up everything this week. Portions of the grant will go to GCPL’s annual KYVL membership. This membership provides the people of Grant County access to over 40 online databases. Many of the most popular KYVL databases can be found on GCPL’s website, including:
