Grants, donations
Thanks to grants from the Eastside Area Community Foundation and Friends of the Butler Public Library, as well as a gift in memory of Mae Frakes, the library has been able to substantially increase the number of large-print format books in its collection.
Through these generous donations, an outreach program has been established with The Laurels of DeKalb to offer reading materials to residents through monthly deliveries by library staff.
âWe are grateful for these gifts, which allow us to serve our community beyond our doors,â said library director Sarah Dempsey.
