ACAF Helps to Fund Genesee Library’s Youth Enjoyment Spaces

The Allegany County Area Foundation recently awarded $1000 to the Genesee Library (Little Genesee) for the creation of dedicated Youth Enjoyment Spaces. These funds have already been put to good use, creating kid-friendly areas and activities through the purchase of furniture, a ‘Fishing for Literacy’ carpet (see photo) and storage units.

The Spaces, which are up and running, have been well-received. ‘The new sections in the library are wonderful and I can’t thank you enough for selecting us’ reports librarian Raeanne Smith. ‘We are so proud of what we are becoming.’

The library has recently been approved as a summer lunch distribution site, through which a greater number of area children and families will become aware of all the library offers, including the Youth Enjoyment Spaces.
Bruce Campbell, Executive Director of the Foundation notes that good things are happening at the library. “The Genesee Library is doing a lot to expand its service to the community; we’re really glad that we can contribute to that effort.’
