Parrott-Wood Memorial Library receives a $3,000.00 Grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation to Support Adult Literacy. This grant was obtained through The Friends of Parrott-Wood Memorial Library. Donna Phillips, the Library Director stated this Adult Literacy Grant will enable the library to offers HISET (GED) TUTORING, ACT Tutoring, Resume Writing, and so much more. If we did not have grants like this, our library could not offer these enrichment programs to our community. We are very thankful to have received this grant during the Covid-19.
