WE are looking to expand
The Building Sold - but not to us.
We are not worried - something will come along.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to our building fund. Rest assured, every dollar donated has been earmarked for new property or a new building. So please continue to donate as we search for a new location!
We are dreaming big!
We are out of room at our current location.
Over the last 5 years we have grown exponentially. We started with a simple wire shelf of books, then jumped to a large shelf. After a month we grew to 2 shelves then 4 then 7 and then we exploded. Our last and final upgrade came in August of 2021 when we expanded to the most available space of 2886 sq foot. There is no more room to grow.
Our Services keep expanding
At first it was just books and then came the free workshops. Sewing, Quilting, off the grid living. And then came Lego Dumps, food distribution, book clubs, adventure nights, Ukulele class and so much more.
Our patronage has expand
When we started on January of 2018 we had 2 patrons. We now have over 2600 patrons.
Our Impact has expanded
According to our 2022 impact statement, we serviced 19,262 people in 6 counties.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to help us grow! (updated weekly) $2952.00 donated so far!
