The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded Braswell Memorial Library a Bridging Cultures grant.
The grant,entitled Muslim Journeys Bookshelf, is a collection of books and films chosen to familiarize the American public with Islam and the cultural heritage of Islamic civilizations around the world. It is intended to address both the need and the desire for trustworthy and accessible resources about Muslim beliefs and practices. 
Programs will be presented at the library by members of the faculty at North Carolina Wesleyan College; Pearsall Library at NCWC is a partner in this grant award.
