We are delighted to announce that Bekkum Memorial Library was the recipient of the Libraries Transforming Communities grant for small and rural communities from the American Library Association last year. We have utilized some of these funds to expand our collection, adding innovative resources such as Wonderbooks, Western Large Print books, and a selection of literature focused on disabilities for both children and adults, among others.
