Hansen Community Library

GRANTS

The Hansen and Kimberly Libraries began a project during our centennial year of 2005 to have the Kimberly Advertiser and East End Chronicle converted and put on CD's in order to have them available to all.  The original papers are old and brittle and some are missing. 

The libraries were recently awarded $3,500 from the Laura Moore Cunningham Foundation, and the project is now completed.  All of the Kimberly newspapers from 1935 to 1997 are now on CD for public use.
