Payday for La Puente library

La Puente Library is getting some money for Teen Tech Week. See this press release below:

CHICAGO — The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), the fastest-growing division of the American Library Association (ALA), announced La Puente Library a recipient of one of its twenty Teen Tech Week Mini Grants. The grants give La Puente Library $450 cash and $50 worth of official Teen Tech Week products to celebrate Teen Tech Week, March 2-8.

“We are very excited to receive this grant,” said Children’s/Young Adult Services Librarian, Monique Delatte. “Using monies provided by this grant, the La Puente Library will provide Teen Tech Week programming that bridges the gap between technology and the teens of La Puente.”

The La Puente Library plans to use the grant to fund four technology-oriented programs for young adults Tuesday, March 4 – Friday, March 7 of Teen Tech Week.

Wow, $450 in cash and $50 in products to fund FOUR programs? Sounds like library officials are really going to make that money work for them. If only local government could learn how to make taxpayer money strech like that.
