Library can expand programs and collections over multiple years. The library will use $920,000 in Mellon Foundation grant money across several years to enhance services, materials, and programming that residents rely on.
Strengthens Saint Paul's public library as a community resource. Stable multi-year funding helps the library plan long-term initiatives and compete with other cultural institutions for talent and partnerships.
Grant depends on library sustaining service levels after funding ends. Once the multi-year grant period closes, the library will need to find other funding sources to maintain any expanded programs or services created with this money.
