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

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.
