Library Looking At Grant Dollars, New Bookmobile

Jamestown (Csi) The James River Valley Library System has set plans to help fund the purchase of a new bookmobile.

The board has plans to submit a community facilities application for a grant to U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development.

The grant application will request $74,000 for a new bookmobile to replace the current 18-year-old vehicle.

The grant is planned to fund 50 percent of the cost of the bookmobile.

The remaining 50 percent would come from the library’s bookmobile fund.

A public hearing is at 5 p.m. April 7 at Jamestown City Hall, 102 3rd Ave. SE, Jamestown, to answer questions related to the project.
