State Senator Michael H. Ranzenhofer has announced $10,000 in state funding for the Clarence Public Library.  The funding will be used for children’s programming, updating technology and general improvements.

“I am pleased to report that I have been able to obtain state funding for our public library in Clarence.  Whether it is educational programs or information, our public libraries provide important services to residents.  This funding will help to enhance those services and ensure the Clarence Library continues to be an invaluable asset to our community,” said Ranzenhofer.

“As a public library we are proud to offer free quality programs and services to our patrons.  With Senator Ranzenhofer's support, we are able to add more quality programs and services, purchase more quality materials for our patrons and provide cutting edge technology in an increasingly digitally connected world.  Thank you Senator Ranzenhofer,” said Clarence Public Library Director Monica Mooney.

The funding is part of the 2016-17 State Budget.  The funding is administered by the New York State Education Department.
