Grants
The Friends of WPLM were recently awarded a $5,000 grant from The BRANDT Foundation towards the Outdoor Education Space!
The Friends of WPLM recently received an amazing surprise! Set-Free Reading, which used to work in the Williamsville-Sherman area to help young readers and their families, donated $10,000 after they closed.
Grant writing continues as WPLM strives to develop an outdoor space to promote life-long learning.
