The Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library is receiving $5,000 through a grant with Kentucky Humanities.
According to a news release, Kentucky Humanities has awarded $500,000 to 85 cultural organizations throughout the state through funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of the CARES Act. These grants provide immediate funds to humanities-based cultural organizations to help stabilize organizations by providing money for them to maintain essential functions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Executive Director Deanna Sova says, “While our services are limited, and we are unsure of how long until we can provide in person programming, this will allow the opportunity to purchase equipment and software that will provide outreach through technology, distance learning and in-house equipment once the mandated limitations are lifted.”
