June 24, 2024—[Nacogdoches, TX]—The Nacogdoches Public Library is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a grant of $2,441.00 from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. This generous grant will support the library’s Summer Reading program, specifically for the project titled “Adventure Begins at Your Library,” which will provide 500 free books for children of all ages this summer.
