The Grapevine Public Library is using a recently awarded grant to implement its homebound delivery program.
The library received $42,500 from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, which will be used to purchase a vehicle and canvas bags, according to a council memo. City Council approved the expenditure for the grant during the Sept. 5 meeting.
The overview
The Grapevine Public Library started using a mobile service called Grapevine Resources on Wheels in 2019 to expand the number of individuals who can access the library. For about 18 months, Library Director Leigh Kapsos said a homebound program was tested using information from contacts within senior living facilities and the city’s housing authority.
