We, the Partridge Public Library, are VERY THANKFUL to South Central Kansas Library Systems for the Libraries Transform Grant that they awarded to us. 

A Libraries Transform Grant is a matching Grant and our community stepped up and gave generously and made it possible for us to qualify for this grant.

    The Libraries Transform Grant was tremendous in the way it helped provide a way for our library to acquire the resources needed for us to have this beautiful library, that would otherwise have been very difficult to achieve.

    The amount we received through this grant was $13,201.00, and through the community fundraiser and memorial funds we received, it was possible for us to match that.
