Acknowledgements: In December, 2009, the Augusta Township Public Library, through an application by the Township, received a grant for $9600. This grant was made available through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, which is an agency of the Government of Ontario. The money from this one year grant will be used to improve health and safety conditions at the Library by adding attic insulation, repairing eavestroughs, and replacing the flooring in the central part of the facility. The Library Board would like to express its thanks to the Trillium Foundation for this grant. Funding for the Library's public-access computing facility has been provided, over a number of years, by the Community Access Program of Industry Canada. Funding for the Web Catalogue facility was provided through grants from Proctor & Gamble Canada and the Brockville Community Foundation. |
