In
January of 2013, the Barbara Bush Branch Library received a grant from the
National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association
entitled Bridging Cultures: Muslim Journeys. Termed a “bookshelf” grant, it
provides a collection of 25 books, 3 DVDs, and other special resources chosen
with a view to familiarizing the American public with Islam and the cultural
heritage of Islamic civilizations around the world.
