As has been announced, The Acworth Library has received a $4000 grant from LCHIP which we will use to convert the remaining half of the lower floor to usable library space for book shelves. We are currently running a fund-raising campaign to secure the necessary $4000 of "matching" funds needed. We appreciate your consideration of our request and greatly appreciate the generosity of those who have already donated. No taxpayer monies will be used in this effort. We will apply for other grants throughout the year.
We will be starting a Classics Book Group in the next month. If you have interest or questions, please call us at 835-2150 for more information or stop in to see us.
