Library trustees accept $10,000 grant to scale ADA access upgrades
Summary
The White Pine County Library Board accepted a $10,000 Libraries Transforming Communities grant for ADA improvements after learning their $20,000 request was partially funded; trustees voted unanimously to accept the award and will submit a scaled project summary.
On April 7, 2026, the White Pine County Library Board of Trustees voted to accept a $10,000 Libraries Transforming Communities grant to fund accessibility upgrades at the White Pine County Library.
Library Director Lori Romero told trustees the library had requested $20,000 but received a $10,000 award, meaning the planned ADA project must be scaled back and a revised project summary was required (the transcript notes a revised summary due by March 10, 2026). Trustee Trey O'Brien moved to accept the grant; Trustee Diane Hansen seconded and the motion was approved by the trustees present.
The board did not record a line-item vote tally beyond “all approved.” Present trustees who voted in favor were Becky Murdock, Diane Hansen and Trey O'Brien. Romero did not request immediate additional funding sources at the meeting; next steps on the scaled project were not specified in the transcript.
