CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This grant supports the community outcome of Communities that are Safe and Provide a
High Quality of Life for Children and Families. Many Rodeo residents are only able to use
the Rodeo Library due to transportation difficulties and/or age (particularly children and
teens who cannot yet drive). The Rodeo Library remains an important part of the
community’s civic life, offering such activities as book discussion groups, movie discussion
groups, and arts and craft programs for parents with small children.
