Programs on Muslim culture, history coming to DeKalb libraries

Four DeKalb County libraries recently received a federal grant to help provide information about Muslim history, culture and beliefs.

The National Endowment for the Humanities award will pay for 25 books, three films and other resources at branch libraries in Clarkston, Decatur, Northlake and Stonecrest.

Various programs will be planned throughout the year, to highlight the new collection.
