NYS Grants Awarded to Improve Harrison and North Castle Libraries
State Assemblyman David Buchwald (D-White Plains) and Senator Shelley Mayer (D-Yonkers) have announced that New York State library construction grants are being awarded for building improvements to support new programs at libraries in the Towns of Harrison and North Castle.
The North Castle Public Library in Armonk will receive over $135,000 to create new and expanded areas for children and adults while also creating space for an art gallery.
The Harrison Public Library will receive nearly $37,000 to support the construction of an outdoor reading and children’s activities space.
“These grants support library programs that equip children and young adults with lifelong learning and literacy skills,” said Buchwald “I’m pleased our libraries continue to develop new facilities and programs that enrich our communities.”
“I am thrilled that we were able to obtain these additional funds for the Harrison Public Library and the North Castle Public Library allowing them to expand the critical services they provide for the community,” said Mayer.
These construction grants are from $24 million in capital funds for public library construction and broadband infrastructure projects provided in the 2017-2018 state budget.
