Sarah Badgley Literacy Fund for Rural Ontario Children
The Township of Russell Public Library is honoured to have received a grant from the Sarah Badgley Literacy Fund for Rural Ontario Children. Our Library applied this past spring with the goal of purchasing new board books for our collection. With the grant, we were able to purchase 19 French language and 19 English language board books which will be divided and shared between both branches in Russell and Embrun.
