Field of Interest — May, 2024
$1,250 to Muir Public Library for Making the Library Accessible to Everyone
Muir Library Director Nicole Krienke writes,
“The project has been a great success! Thanks to this grant, we can now better serve individuals with mobility challenges in a space that is fully accessible, welcoming, and inclusive, ensuring that all individuals can participate fully and comfortably. Visitors can independently enter our building, and our new wheelchair-accessible bathroom has eliminated a major barrier that once forced us to turn people away. We’ve also added a designated handicapped parking space right in front of our building — another step toward ensuring everyone can participate with dignity and ease.
“We have received wonderful feedback on how great everything looks and how meaningful these improvements are. Thank you for making this possible — your support is deeply appreciated!’”
