Last week state Rep. Matt Smith, D-Mt. Lebanon, presented the town's public library with a $50,000 state grant. The money will help the library improve its resources while helping it to cope with rising prices and a smaller budget.
The grant will help the library expand its collection by buying more large-print books, audio books, early childhood education resources, and materials for families who home school and for families who don't speak English as their primary language.
Some 76 percent of the more than 33,000 town residents have a library card.
Last year, the library circulated more than 565,880 books and other materials and was visited by more than 397,500 patrons.
