Boyne District Library Expansion Project 

 
A generous $250,000 gift from the MKPF has resulted in the creation of the Boyne District Library Special Projects Fund at the Charlevoix County Community Foundation.
 
The purpose of the Special Projects Fund is "to provide support for special capital improvement projects of the Boyne District Library." Frances Fisher, representing the Mary K. Peabody Foundation, specified that the fund is not to be used for routine maintenance or events that would normally be included in the library's operating budget.

After thoughtful planning the Boyne District Library board of trustees has decided to add 2,500 additional square feet to the library. The plans are available on the library website for the public to review. Please take a look, and let us know what you think!
