Community-run libraries in parts of Yorkshire have been given a share of a £25,000 grant.
Each community library in Thirsk, Stokesley, Bedale, Great Ayton and Easingwold will be awarded £5,000 from a scheme called ‘Making a Difference.’
Libraries in the Hambleton area have been passed into the hands of locally based groups to run and have already enlisted teams of volunteers.
Mark Ronson, the leader of Hambleton District Council, says he decided the libraries deserved a "cash boost" because they are valuable assets he "wants to see thrive.”

Earlier I told you about researchers in York claiming Marmite could be good for you.
Scientists at the University of York say the high concentration of vitamin B12 could increase levels of chemicals that protect against neurological disorders.
But what's the story behind this most British of brands?
It was discovered by chance by a German scientist called Justus Liebig.
In the late 19th Century Liebig stumbled across the delicious realisation that brewer's yeast could be concentrated then eaten.
Then, in 1902, the Marmite Food Company was founded in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire - a place where the raw ingredients were readily available from the town's many breweries.
The controversial condiment was named after a French cooking pot, because British Marmite was originally supplied in earthenware vessels of a similar shape.
Earlier we were telling you about how motorists in Leeds could face charges if they drive diesel cars under new plans to cut pollution.
Theresa May has now suggested that car owners could get some help from the government if the charges are bought in.
Image source, ReutersIn London an ultra low emission zone will come into force in April 2019, which comes with a £24-a-day fee.
In Leeds the suggestion is that a "toxin tax" of up to £20-a-day can be expected.
Mrs May has now hinted there will be schemes to help drivers who were told that diesel vehicles were the right purchase.
The government was forced to act after getting a "final warning" on air quality from the European Commission.
Quote MessageI'm very conscious that past governments have encouraged people to buy diesel cars and we need to take that into account."

It's claimed Yorkshire can make whisky that's as good as the ones you can find in Scotland.
That's the message from the founders of the county's first ever whisky distillery near Driffield.
They say so much barley from the Yorkshire Wolds is sent to Scotland to make scotch, it seemed a shame no-one had been making a local single malt:
Take a 'rye' look at a 'neat' idea:
Leeds United defender Liam Cooper has been banned for six games for violent conduct for a "stamp" on Reading's Reece Oxford.
