Assemblywoman Gina L. Sillitti (D-Port Washington) presented representatives of the Bryant Library with a ceremonial check for $25,000 on Thursday. The grant will be used to purchase bilingual storybooks for the library’s physical and digital collections.
“Libraries are important community centers that impart a love of reading and learning on our children, and I’ll always do everything I can to support these beloved institutions,” said Sillitti. “The grant I secured will help the Bryant Library bolster their collection and share the joy of reading with even more young people. I want to thank the library staff for all that they do, as well as the parents and teachers who help foster a love of learning among all our children.”
“On behalf of The Bryant Library I want to thank Assemblyperson Gina Sillitti for supporting library services in her district. The monies from the grant she obtained for us will go towards enhancing our collection and services at the Library for our patrons,” said Victor Caputo, The Bryant Library Director.
