<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hello, fellow library
people!<br>
<br>
The Garnet A. Wilson Public Library is currently engaged in a
capital campaign to raise the funds to build a new main library
facility. Our current building has been a horse livery, a chicken
hatchery, a feed store, and the town's first Kroger, but was never
intended to be a library! We have limited, difficult parking,
three poorly-accessible floors, and limited space for collections
and to serve our patrons. We have made this space work well for
many years, but our community needs something more inviting, more
accessible, with meeting rooms, more space for the collection, and
individual spaces for all age groups.<br>
<br>
We are excited to have been selected by the State Farm
Neighborhood Assist Program as a finalist for a $25,000 grant
which will fund an outdoor play/relaxation area just outside of
our new children's area. We have no green space at our current
facility, and this would be a dream come true for the patrons in
our community.<br>
<br>
We would like to ask for your help in achieving this goal. We
need to make it to the Top 40 out of 200 organizations that were
selected to win the grant, and the selection is strictly based on
community voting.<br>
<br>
