Friends of Conway Public Library get $2,500 grant

CONWAY — The Friends of the Conway Public Library have received a $2,500 grant from New Hampshire Humanities in support of the Conway Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program. The grant is made possible by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the federal CARES Act.

The Friends have long been the primary sponsor of the Summer Reading Program, which has served thousands of children over the years. With the coronavirus outbreak and the closing of the library building, the Friends have experienced a significant drop in revenue associated with the sale of used books.
