Will you help us write our Next Chapter?
This year marks our 50th anniversary in the David A. Glosser building, and we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished here. However, in all that time, our building has not undergone a major renovation. Our critical components, like HVAC and sewer systems, are well past the end of their life span. In addition, the way people are using the library has changed a lot in 50 years. We need to update our building to meet the current needs of our community.
Will you help us raise $70,000 by October 2021? Funds raised through this campaign will serve as a match toward the Keystone Capital Improvement Grant, which will enable us to do even more.
Our prioritized projects will update aging systems, increase safety and accessibility, and improve our ability to serve our neighbors. Help us modernize our building so we can continue transforming lives for the next 50 years.
