Be Part of the Story
Capital Campaign reaches $960,000
Have you driven past the library at 114 W. Wayne Avenue lately? Lots of progress has been made over the summer months. The structural steel has been set for the addition over the parking lot, the elevator shaft has been built, and the framing for the interior walls has begun.
Meanwhile, we continue to raise money for the Be Part of the Story Capital Campaign. In late July, the capital campaign reached $960,000 of our $1,000,000 goal. Are you part of the story? There several opportunities to make a lasting contribution to the new building project. Follow the link below to explore the many ways you can give to the campaign.
