(KLZA)-- The Falls City Library and Arts Center was recently awarded a grant trough the Pilcrow Foundation's Children's Book Project.

The Pilcrow Foundation is a national non-profit public charity whose mission is to provide new, quality, hardcover children's books to rural public libraries.

The Falls City Library will be receiving 71 new, hardcover children's books selected from a list provided by the Foundation. The new books will be part of the library's permanent collection.

To qualify, libraries must be located in a rural area and have a limited operating budget, have an active children's department, and raise $200 - $400 through a local sponsor.

The $400 was donated by The Friends of the Falls City Library and Arts Center.

The total value of the grant, including the local match was $1,978.

The Falls City Library and Arts Center invites the public to an open house Thursday, January 16, from 4 - 6 p.m. to celebrate the receipt of the grant award and to see the new books.
