The grant funds are from a special allocation of $14 million in capital funds for public library construction provided by the New York State Legislature in the 2007-2008 state budget.
Libraries play an important role in bettering our communities, providing so many tools that help educate all, said McKevitt. This grant is a huge boost to these libraries as now more residents will be able to benefit from new improvements that will make the experience at these libraries even better.
The East Meadow Public Library will receive $80,963 for the reconstruction of part of existing library to create a multipurpose, 1,500 square foot Young Adult Room.
