Walmart provides grant to Hammond Library to start Spanish collection

The Walmart in New Richmond recently provided a generous grant to the Hammond Community Library worth $1792. This grant was written by the Friends of the Hammond Community Library, a nonprofit working to help the Hammond Community Library’s program.
