Among the organization’s grants — $1,000 to the Foxburg Public Library and $1,075 to the Knox Public Library.
Dollar General has stores in Knox, Marianne, Fryburg and Emlenton, all within 20 miles of the Foxburg or Knox libraries.
The grants awarded to Pennsylvania organizations are expected to positively impact the lives of more than 10,000 Pennsylvanians.
Statewide grants are part of more than $8.3 million that the Dollar General Literacy Foundation awarded this year.
Recipients of the grants plan to use Dollar General Literacy Foundation funds to help adults learn to read, prepare for the high school equivalency exam, promote childhood summer reading or learn English.
