In December 2024, the Burbank Library received the FBE’s Learning Excellence Grant Program (LEGP) to begin updating and enhancing our Library’s curriculum-related resources. The $1,800 grant resulted in the Library's acquisition of new reinforced or library bound hardcover books related to the science and social studies curriculum, primarily as it pertains to learning about and researching Animals (habitats & life cycles), Native American Nations, American History, Symbols and Community, and Exploring Countries and Cultures.
This significant initial investment in the Burbank Library by the FBE complements the Burbank PTA & our supporters' crucial annual grant to our library. Thank you from the Burbank Community to the FBE! And a big thank you to Barbara Watson for submitting this grant to obtain these wonderful new and needed books for our library!
