Apr. 8, 2025 Source: Rob-See-Co news release ELKHORN, Neb. - In honor of National Library Day, Rob-See-Co, an independent seed company located in Elkhorn, Neb. is excited to announce the continuation of the Rural Library Grant program. Originally launched in 2023 to commemorate the company's 10th anniversary and pay tribute to Agnes Robinson's dedication to the rural library in Waterloo, NE, this program holds special significance. Agnes, the grandmother of Rob Robinson, the current CEO, was a staunch supporter of rural libraries. The program extends support to libraries in rural communities within the Rob-See-Co footprint. Previous grant recipients have used the funding to update book selections, digitize local newspapers, enhance children's programming, and develop Makerspace areas. "I am writing to thank you for the $500 donation to the Tripp County Library," said Misti Burns, Librarian. "We are working with the schools and home school students in the area to offer a Teen Writing Workshop including 2 to 3 sessions. The kids are excited!" In 2025, the company will award a total of $5,000 to selected rural libraries in the states of CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, MD, MI, MN, ND, NE, OH, OK, PA, SD, TX and WI. These funds can be used for core educational, preservation and interpretive purposes such as collection preservation, building maintenance repairs and improvements, support for funding traveling exhibits and speakers, support for attending workshops and programming or publications. "These grants represent our commitment to our dealers, growers and communities, while honoring my family's legacy and the history of Rob-See-Co," said Robinson. "We are excited to continue this program and contribute to rural libraries that serve so many of our customers." Applications will be emailed out April 6th and are due by June 30th. The winners will be announced on October 1, 2025, coinciding with the anniversary of Rob-See-Co. To learn more about Rob-See-Co, visit www.robseeco.com.
