by Todd Vandersline / Bendlocal.org
Ensworth Elementary and La Pine Elementary schools in Bend, Oregon are recipients of a $5,000 grant from the Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries. This grant will be used by media managers Alyssa Lohner and Carol Nolan, along with District Librarian Shelby Paulson, to purchase new books for their school libraries.
The funds will not only allow the schools to buy multiple copies of "The Wild Robot," but also to expand and update their collections with graphic novels, popular fiction like Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dog Man, as well as newer high-interest titles, updated non-fiction, biographies, and more. Ensworth Elementary and La Pine Elementary are two of 200 schools across the country that have received this grant to enhance their library collections.
