Granted
Westland Library receives program funds
The William P. Faust Westland Public Library has been awarded grant funding to help combat loneliness and social isolation among seniors in the community.
Library officials said the library will use the grant to create “Traveling Library” program kits designed for seniors who may face mobility challenges. The kits will include activities such as puzzles, bingo, trivia, crafts, and hands-on workshops aimed at keeping seniors socially engaged and mentally active.
Library staff also plan to bring programming directly into senior living communities throughout Westland.
“By bringing engaging, accessible programming directly to senior living communities, our Traveling Library Program kits will reduce isolation, foster meaningful social connection, and ensure all seniors—regardless of mobility—can benefit from lifelong learning opportunities,” said Katelin Smith of the library. “We thank Molina for making this initiative a reality.”
