Librarians from across the state traveled to Washington D.C. to visit with the aides of Congressman McKinley, Senator Manchin, Congresswoman Miller, and Congressman Mooney. Senator Capito was available to meet with the group. Each of the offices was thanked for retaining Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funding. Items of discussion included broadband access throughout the state, the e-rate discount, net neutrality, and the importance of the upcoming census count.

Our Very Special Thanks to Local High School Student and Long Time Patron Lily Kessler who earlier this month took the time and made the effort to sell baked goods in front of the library to raise money for the new library project.
