The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) has awarded Manitowoc Public Library a grant of $650 as part of the new East Asia in Wisconsin Library Program.
CEAS, a federally funded National Resource Center for the study of East Asia, created the program to encourage Wisconsin libraries to augment their collections with East Asia-related materials, and to design new book clubs and other programing with an East Asian theme.
Manitowoc Public Library’s grant was one of thirty-eight awarded to libraries across Wisconsin, totaling $32,765 in awards. The grants will be used to purchase books and films about China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and to host book clubs, speakers and other related library programs.
