The Indiana Free Library is one of 27 libraries in Pennsylvania that will receive money from the state Department of Education.
Indiana Free Library will receive $500,000 from the Keystone Recreation, Parks, and Conservation Fund. The money for the grants comes from the realty transfer tax. Those who are eligible receive up to 50% of the funding needed to upgrade or rehabilitate public libraries. Municipalities and libraries must jointly apply for the grant to receive it. Governor Tom Wolf in a media release said that while the state continues to invest in its teachers and students, libraries must also be supported as they are both an important resource and an enjoyable place for reading and learning.
Indiana Free Library is one of eight libraries in this round of grant funding to receive $500,000.
