WHP Wins "Stock the Shelves" Grant

The Waco History Project has been awarded $2,010 from the Waco Foundation for its "Stock the Shelves" initiative. The effort is to get Waco history books into area school libraries. "Stock the Shelves" had its first gift earlier this year when a donation from the Lake Brazos Rotary Club made possible the donation of several books to University Middle School.
