Medina County District Library is working alongside local historical societies to create digitization plans through the Institute of Museum and Library Services grant funding.
The library was awarded $100,000 through the institue’s National Leadership Grant for Libraries for 2025, which was noted in the Medina County District Library’s 2025 annual report.
Medina County District Library Executive Director Julianne Bedel said the grant funding is dedicated to preserving Medina County’s history by having library staff work with local historical societies to inventory collections and develop digitization plans.
The grant also supports the Medina County District Library’s expansion of its digital lab with equipment to help initiate the historical societies’ digitization plans, the annual report states.
