The Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation has been awarded a generous grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The two-year, $100,000 grant will provide general operating support and Sno-Isle Libraries’ plans to use the funds to continue early literacy efforts and programs with a focus on social justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. This funding will help ensure all our customers are represented in the library and have equitable access to knowledge and resources.
The grant will also help Sno-Isle Libraries address current and emerging needs, such as demonstration libraries and capital improvements throughout the Library District to help our community spaces remain inspiring, welcoming, and inclusive.
As the philanthropic arm of Sno-Isle Libraries, the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation is dedicated to expanding the capacity of the library to serve more people by funding innovative and inspiring programs throughout the Library District.
