We Did It...Together

June 30th marked the end of our fiscal year, and we are excited to share the great news that we have met our annual appeal goal and in fact, exceeded it. This achievement was possible through hundreds of valued donations and an end-of-year boost from matching donations made by Piper Shores and an anonymous donor. We extend our sincere thanks to all who support the library and all who value and use our services. We're making a difference—together!
