Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process.

We produced a solidly researched, well-written, handsome book. This was our goal. We still face challenges in distribution, in making its existence and availability more widely known. REINVENTING THE PEOPLE'S LIBRARY has been reviewed in RAIN TAXI, the St. Paul PIONEER PRESS, and RAMSEY COUNTY HISTORY, and it has been mentioned in MINNESOTA HISTORY. There is yet work to do to raise its visibility.
