AARP Connecticut recently selected Reliance Health in Norwich and the Groton Library Circle of Friends as two of five awardees for AARP Connecticut’s third Livable Communities Grant Program.
The program is dedicated to fund quick-action projects in Connecticut communities that will help make immediate improvements or jumpstart long-term progress that will support residents. AARP Connecticut funded seven projects in 2019 and four in 2018, the first year of the program.
The grant will help the Groton Public Library create the Library Book Bike and Mobile Information Kiosk, a custom-built tricycle with attached trailer box that can hold up to 600 pounds of library items, including Wi-Fi hotspot, books, fold out table, electronics charging station, pamphlets and flyers.
