The Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County has been awarded a Communities for Immunity grant of $37,852. The Library will use these funds to improve public health by engaging communities in COVID-19 vaccine confidence through education, access, and community conversations. The Library is honored to be one of fifty museums and libraries to receive a grant, and one of only four institutions in the entire country to receive an award of this size. The project will be a collaboration involving the Library, Knox Public Health, Knox Pages, the Ohio Eastern Star Home, New Directions and Knox Community Hospital.
