Sterling's library has secured a $10,000 Carnegie Foundation grant to install a Storybook Walk in Library Park; the Park Advisory Board will review final plans in May and the library hopes to have the walk ready for the Summer Reading Program.

Library Director Debbie Gibson and Library Board President Stephanie Burford told the City Commission on April 6 that the Sterling Free Public Library has received a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation to install a Storybook Walk in Library Park.
