PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Library Foundation has been awarded a $75,000 grant from the Ludwick Family Foundation to fund new mobile shelving units at the Paso Robles City Library. The upgrade will enhance accessibility and create flexible spaces for library programs, workshops, and community events.

Mobile shelving allows staff to reconfigure library layouts, opening valuable floor space for children’s programs, community gatherings, and other activities. The improvement is expected to make the library a more dynamic and adaptable resource for all patrons.

“We are deeply grateful to the Ludwick Family Foundation for their incredible generosity,” said Alicia DiGrazia, President of the Paso Robles Library Foundation. “This grant will make an immediate and lasting impact on how our library serves the community. By investing in mobile shelving, we’re creating a more dynamic and accessible environment where patrons of all ages can learn, explore, and connect.”

The Ludwick Family Foundation, based in Glendora, supports organizations that make a positive difference in communities worldwide.

“The Paso Robles Library Foundation’s vision for a more inclusive, functional, and community-focused library aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Danyelle Owens of the Ludwick Family Foundation. “We were inspired by the Foundation’s thoughtful approach to improving the patron experience and are honored to help bring this project to life.”
