Southeastern Libraries Cooperating is announcing the recipients of Legacy Community Collaboration grants. Libraries receiving grants are the Freeborn County Historical Society, Northfield Public Library, Rochester Public Library, Winona Public Library and Zumbrota Public Library. 

Community Collaborations is one of SELCO’s Library Legacy activities. Grants are designed to bring together local libraries and community partners to collaborate on projects that benefit libraries and the communities they serve.

Applications are selected based on the quality of the partnerships, innovation and the benefits to local libraries. These collaborations are unique opportunities to bring organizations together, build community and expand the wide array of projects and services local libraries provide.

The grants are made possible with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and the people of Minnesota for Library Legacy activities.
