Fundraising Begins To Equip New Library
Several library patrons met with Sandra Fosnow and Liz Cashell of the Henry County Library on Monday morning, March 31 to discus possible fundraising projects to help finance shelving, equipment, chairs, benches, reading tables, desks, carpeting, and a phone system for the new Lenora Blackmore Extension of the Henry County Library. The new library will be located on Benton Street in Greg Frencken's new building.
Total equipment needs for the 4,000 sq. ft. space will be approximately $75,000. To date, a Cleo Whitworth Memorial and sale of extra books has raised $3,400. The group's goal is to raise $30,000 by September 1.
Fundraising projects discussed include: a Donor's tree, shelf sale, Naming opportunities for stacks and rooms, school organizations fundraisers, Memorials, a Skidmore Foundation Grant, Solicitation letters to community members and WHS Alumni, information in church bulletins, fundraisersers by local organizations and a Celebrity Waiter Banquet and Auction.
The group invites all other library patrons and interested community members to contact Sandra Fosnow, Terri Kline, Karen Bullock, Virginia Hess or Jess Kellock for more information.
