Special
Thanks...
Thanks to our
supporters!
We
could not be at this point without all of our gracious and
generous supporters, both large and small. Every penny
counts! As we begin the construction process, we look
forward to updating you with progress reports. Our new
library is beginning to take shape, thanks to all of you who
helped share in the dream and believed in this vision for our
community. Thanks!
