ASHLAND ELEMENTARY RECEIVES NEH LIBRARY GRANT

Jane Frowert, librarian at Ashland Elementary School, applied for the grant and will receive 15 hardcover classic books and other materials reflecting the theme of “Freedom.” Updates on the “We the People Bookshelf” and other NEH programs of interest to libraries can be found at www.neh.gov.
