Library Project Nears Major Milestone
Your Edna Zybell Memorial Library Board, the Building Committee and the Fundraising Committee have been busy! We have been applying for a variety of grants for the new building and have applied for a FEMA grant to include a tornado safe room for the community in our new library. Currently, about 43% of our $595,000 goal has either been pledged or collected. Once we reach 50% of our goal we will become eligible for additional grants. We are continuing to accept donations for the building and appreciate the support of those who have already contributed!

The Library Fundraising Committee, Building Committee and Library Board would like to say thank you to everyone for the great show of support at the 2nd Annual Run for Reading 5k and Walk!! We look forward to next year!
