Summary
The Trenton Public Library accepted a $10,000 grant from Molina Michigan Healthcare and the Superiorland Library Cooperative to fund senior and caregiver programming addressing social isolation and wellness; council approved acceptance unanimously.
The Trenton Public Library on April 6 told the council it received a $10,000 grant from Molina Michigan Healthcare and the Superiorland Library Cooperative to fund programming for seniors and caregivers focused on addressing social isolation and promoting health and wellness.
Library Director Miss Jensen described intended uses including increased outreach (home delivery), book clubs at senior living centers such as Trenton Towers, and in-library activities such as movie and game days for seniors and caregivers.
