Walton & Tipton Township Public Library receives $3,000 grant
The funds are a part of a record-setting, one-day donation in the Foundation's history of more than $13.2 million to support adult, family, and summer literacy programs in the 48 states in which Dollar General operates.
'We are extremely grateful for Dollar General and the funds that have been awarded to us,' said director Kristi Hileman. 'As a small, rural library, grants such as this one make a huge difference in the events and programs that the Walton Library may host. Funds will support our summer reading program so that we may expand our selection of books. Funds also will go toward literacy projects in order to aid people who need help with their reading skills.'
The Dollar General Literacy Foundation supports organizations that increase access to educational programming, stimulate and enable innovation in the delivery of educational instruction and inspire a love of reading, according to a press release. The Foundation also plans to launch its sixth annual The Yellow Glasses Project campaign on July 21, in which customers can purchase yellow sunglasses at Dollar General stores for $2 each to benefit the DGLF.
