[LM_NET] Tennessee district elementary libraries to open after school

[Josephine Dervan <dervan@OPTONLINE.NET>]

Sorry for any cross-posting. I found this in today's NEA news:Federal Grant Allows 
Elementary Libraries In Tennessee District To Stay Open In The Evenings.The 
Shelbyville (TN)Times-Gazette  (12/16, Carney) reports that thanks to a $422,000 
"grant from the US Department of Education...elementary school libraries in Bedford 
County" will be able "to remain open from 3-6 p.m. two days a week, giving 
children and their parents or other family members a place to read, use computers, 
and do research."  The district will use $200,000 of the grant to purchase new 
books and equipment.  "The evening hours will continue until mid-June of 2010. ...  
Because the program is grant-funded, there's no guarantee it will be available 
beyond the current school year." Josephine Dervan, MLS -Adjunct InstructorSchool of
