The anticipated cost of construction is $9 million.  While loans were readily available a few years ago, changes in the economy have made it challenging to borrow the money needed to build.
    State grants for library construction also have become extremely limited, due to government budget cut-backs.
   While the search for funding continues, the library has two sources of income that continue to bring in revenue:
   The Library Construction Fund was established by the library Board of Directors years ago in anticipation of the project.  Funds are invested in certificates of deposit with the highest interest rates available, and are constantly evaluated and renewed or moved in response to market changes.
   Our fundraising team, The Beachcombers, is a dedicated group of volunteers who have developed a comprehensive plan of events and activities designed to involve the community in charitable giving.
