Foundation for Baltimore County Public Library has announced the Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) Give ’em What They Want recipients.
The Give ’em What They Want microgrants are internal grants applied for and awarded to Baltimore County Public Library branches, departments or teams by Foundation for Baltimore County Public Library. The name comes from the philosophy created by former Baltimore County Public Library director Charles Robinson of customer-centric library service, which current director Paula Miller has updated in the current strategic plan, “Give ’em What They Want for the 21st Century.”
