Sarah Ladd writes: “When children are unnecessarily removed from their homes, experts say the separation puts them at risk of chronic mental and physical ailments. With that in mind, four Kentucky libraries are launching programs to keep families together, well resourced, and educated—aided by $200,000 in grant money from the national nonprofit Youth Villages. Libraries in Jackson, Johnson, Marshall and Spencer counties received around $45,000 each for a variety of programs to help parents meet their children’s needs.”
