Library awarded $10,000 grant; accessibility project to be scaled back

Library Board of Trustees · March 3, 2026

Summary

The White Pine County Library received a $10,000 Libraries Transforming Communities grant for handicap-access upgrades but must scale back a larger $20,000 request and submit a revised project summary by March 10, 2026.

Library Director Lori Romero told the White Pine County Library Board that the library received a $10,000 award from the Libraries Transforming Communities program. "Notice was received from Libraries Transforming Communities grant of a $10,000 award," Romero said, and the board was told a revised project summary must be filed by March 10, 2026.

Romero said the board had originally requested $20,000, so the accessibility upgrade project will be scaled back; she described the grant as intended "to upgrade handicap access to the library." Trustees discussed next steps for adjusting scope and timelines but did not take a formal vote on the budget line at this meeting. The board directed staff to prepare the revised summary and return with implementation options.
