Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese The Adamstown Area Library and the community has been blessed to be supported by the Friends group (of the Adamstown Area Library) for 20 years. During that time they raised over $700,000 to provide special programs, equipment and additions to the collection beyond the scope of the library budget. In 2016 the Friends donated $100,000 toward the Room to Grow Capital Campaign to renovate the former VFW to become the new and expanded home for the library in 2017. In addition, they are now donating $25,000 toward the Tranquility Garden area at the new library. This outdoor space will offer a place to relax and enjoy a book, a picnic or just quiet contemplation. It will feature greenery, benches and tables for enjoyment by all ages. The Room to Grow campaign has reached $650,000 with a goal of $1,500,000 by the end of three years. They need to reach $1,000,000 to cover renovation costs before they can authorize work to begin in 2017. Please consider a donation if you have not already done so. This will be a wonderful community resource for present and future generations!
