The Bruce County Public Library is receiving a final $7,680 donation from the Chesley Area Friends of the Library before it disbands.
The library says this donation will go towards the Bookmobile campaign and comes and the group has decided 2022 will be its last year.
“The Friends have been volunteering in Chesley for close to two decades. In 2007 we saw them receive the much-deserved Gabriele Schrieber Friends of the Year Award By Friends of Canadian Libraries after they showcased amazing efforts in helping Chesley secure a fresh, new library and raised over $50,000 to support these efforts,” says the library.
It adds the group promoted and publicized library services, fundraised, raise awareness, and advocate when requested by the library and its board.
“A heartfelt thank you goes out to the Chesley Area Friends from the Bruce County Public Library and Library Board,” says the library.
The Bookmobile campaign seeks to service under-serviced communities across Bruce County.
