Paso Robles Library Foundation awarded $75,000 for shelving upgrade
Project will expand flexible spaces for programs and events
– The Paso Robles Library Foundation has been awarded a $75,000 grant from the Ludwick Family Foundation to purchase and install new mobile shelving units at the Paso Robles City Library. The funding will allow the library to enhance accessibility and create flexible spaces for patrons, programs, and community events.
Mobile shelving allows library staff to easily reconfigure the layout of collections, opening up floor space for children’s programs, workshops, and community gatherings. The project is part of the Foundation’s ongoing efforts to improve how the library serves Paso Robles residents.
“We are deeply grateful to the Ludwick Family Foundation for their incredible generosity,” said Alicia DiGrazia, president of the Paso Robles Library Foundation. “This grant will make an immediate and lasting impact on how our library serves the community. By investing in mobile shelving, we’re creating a more dynamic and accessible environment where patrons of all ages can learn, explore, and connect.”
The Ludwick Family Foundation, based in Glendora, is a philanthropic organization that supports groups working to make a positive difference in their communities.
“The Paso Robles Library Foundation’s vision for a more inclusive, functional, and community-focused library aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Danyelle Owens of the Ludwick Family Foundation. “We were inspired by the Foundation’s thoughtful approach to improving the patron experience and are honored to help bring this project to life.”
The grant represents a continued investment in the Paso Robles Library Foundation’s mission to support literacy, lifelong learning, and cultural enrichment in the community.
