Local libraries are receiving a boost. 

Last month, State Senator Doris Turner announced nearly $300,000 to local libraries in her district. 

Sen. Turner says that she is impressed with the technology local libraries are utilizing. 

The prevalence of children using technology isn’t going away, but grants like these make sure they have access to actual books as well. 

Sen. Turner says that reading out of a book is important, and she hopes she can continue to help local libraries. 

You can learn more about the grants on Sen. Turner’s website – senatordoristurner.com.

Sen. Turner appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
