We're Not Done Yet...
This November will mark 2 years in our new location, but the Library is not complete! There is over 4,000 square feet of unfinished space to add:
- a dedicated children's program room
- a toddler play area
- a larger community room
- maximized shelving to bring the entire adult and youth collections out of storage for easy browsing
- quiet study rooms
- passport application office
The Library's Capital Campaign is underway to raise the necessary funds to complete the renovations. We're a little over halfway there, but we need the support of our community partners, residents, and businesses
(e.g. Karate 4 Excellence below) to fulfill our service goals to the LaGrange community.
Won't you please help by leaving a lasting legacy for future generations of LaGrange residents? We are grateful for whatever support you can give. Naming opportunities are available.
Click here to donate OR for further information, please contact me at 845-452-3141 or mdebellis@laglib.org.
