The donation jars and the card class proceeds were $72.55. This brings our New Library Building Fund total to $3,047.83. Thank you to everyone who is bringing pennies and dropping change into jars. It will take everyone saving pennies to reach our goal of 1 million pennies. That goal will happen, and I believe it will be soon. Your librarian is reaching out to all organizations in our area asking for their help.
More information will be coming soon about this fundraiser.
