The City of Marcus Public Library has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the American Library Association’s [Accessible Small and Rural Communities](https://www.ala.org/tools/librariestransform/libraries-transforming-communities/access) initiative.

These funds will be used to enhance accessibility by purchasing large print books and screen magnifiers, making the library more inclusive for individuals with vision impairments or other reading challenges.

These new resources will also benefit senior readers and those who experience eye strain, helping ensure that everyone in the community can enjoy the library’s offerings.

**SIMPCO is proud to have supported the City of Marcus in securing this impactful grant.**
