The John C. Hart Memorial Library in Shrub Oak is one of 17 area libraries that received $80,000 in discretionary "bullet aid" grant funding from New York State, according to Sen. Terrence Murphy.
"Literacy is perhaps the most beautifol gift you can give," Murphy said in a press release. "Benjamin Franklin said 'either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing,' and I hope ... we've done something worthwhile that can help everyone in the community from children, teens, adults and seniors benefit from the programs in their local library."
