Commission approves library's application to apply for Massachusetts book‑center grant
Summary
Davis County commissioners approved library staff to apply for a Massachusetts book‑center grant to bring translated titles (noted as Yiddish translations in the presentation) into local programming.
The Davis County Commission granted permission on July 8 for the county library to apply for a grant from a Massachusetts book center to support a library program featuring translated titles.
A library representative (identified as Kim) told commissioners the program would include several translated titles, including works translated from Yiddish. The presenter named three titles (transcribed as "Terry the Guardian," "the Zalmani or Zalmaniators, the family saga," and "the Jewish RPG in New York") and said the library would select a fourth title from the grant program. In response to a commissioner question about language, the presenter confirmed the books "are translated" and noted the cultural reach of Yiddish-derived words in American English.
Commissioner John Cross moved to approve item 13; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The library may now complete and submit the grant application.
Ending: County staff expressed hope for award of the grant; the commission's vote simply authorized the library to apply and did not commit county funds to the grant beyond normal program administration.
