[LM_NET] Second Try: TN district elementary librarys open late

[Josephine Dervan <dervan@OPTONLINE.NET>]

Hi Everyone-
I forgot that my Firefox garbles my LM_NET messages.
 
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."
