Special AnnouncementLowe’s 100 Hometowns grant
|
|
Mayor Isabell Boyd, on behalf of the City of Brundidge, is thrilled to announce that Tupper Lightfoot Memorial Library has been awarded the Lowe’s 100 Hometowns grant. The grant will be used to build a connector to join the two separate library buildings.
|
The Library Buildings Connector project is one of the 100 impact projects that are the cornerstone of 100 Hometowns, an initiative to celebrate Lowe’s centennial.
Lowe’s received more than 2,200 submissions to the 100 Hometowns program, which invited people across the country to nominate their hometown projects in need. The 100 Hometowns program will complete 100 projects across 37 states that rebuild areas reeling from natural disasters, repair critical housing, restore beloved community centers, and revive green spaces. The 100 Hometowns projects span urban, rural and suburban communities and will benefit an array of community members, from toddlers, teens and seniors to veterans, small business owners, students, and more. Details of every 100 Hometowns project and their progress can be found at the 100 Hometowns landing page and at #100Hometowns on social media. |

ADECA is exploring ways to improve internet service. Go to https://alabama.speedsurvey.org/ to take the survey. (You may also call (334) 353-4589 to complete the survey by phone.)

Watch the Video--Milo Ventimiglia on the Power of Libraries
MILO VENTIMIGLIA:
LIBRARIES ARE POWERFUL
By admin on August 12, 2019
Actor, director, and producer Milo Ventimiglia, best known for his roles on television dramas "This is Us" and "Gilmore Girls," is starring in the Fox 2000 feature film “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” an adaptation of the international best-selling novel by Garth Stein.
And in a new video message recorded for the American Library Association, he highlights the power of libraries saying, "Stories bring people together, and that's why libraries are so powerful. They make sure everyone can access books, movies, and other media and give communities a place to connect."
