Media Release From City of Mesa Newsroom Needs Some Work

What's the story here from the City of Mesa's Neighborhood Outreach Office claiming that the Little Libraries Program was developed through the Imagine Mesa Initiative?
There's been one inside the Mesa Urban Garden for at least four years. Another one in the 'urban parklet' on Main Street next to Milano's Music and another one at El Rancho de Sol as of June 2018.
Little Libraries Program comes to Mesa
July 9, 2018 at 2:06 pm
"Beginning Monday, July 9 the Neighborhood Outreach Office will launch the Mesa Little Libraries Program. The program supports Mesa residents in creating Little Libraries to inspire a love of reading through book exchanges and to foster connections in neighborhoods. This program was developed through the Imagine Mesa Initiative and is modeled after the national Little Free Libraries program with permission from Little Free Library, LTD.
A Little Library is a "take a book, return a book" free book exchange. They come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common version is a small wooden box of books. Anyone may take a book or bring a book to share.
This year, the City of Mesa is committed to funding a minimum of six libraries with opportunities to expand if community interest increases. All applicants will be reviewed on a first come, first serve basis, subject to availability of funds, completion of required paperwork and project approval by the Neighborhood Outreach Office. . .
