The Green Bay Packers Foundation recently awarded Madison Public Library Foundation a $4,000 grant that will power Dream Bus mobile library operations.
The Dream Bus — jointly operated by Madison Public Library and Dane County Library Service, with support from the foundation — currently visits 18 underserved areas around Madison and Sun Prairie each week. Visitors can check out books, movies, and other library collection items; use Wi-Fi; pick up holds and return library materials; and sign up for a library card.
The Packers Foundation grant was one of 398 benefiting Wisconsin charitable groups working in the areas of arts and culture, athletics, and education. A total of $1.5 million was distributed.
“We’re proud to award $1.5 million through our annual Packers Foundation grants this year,” said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. “We are incredibly grateful for the work the recipient organizations carry out each and every day. The Packers are honored to recognize and support their dedication to positively impacting their communities.”
