Ivanhoe library fundraising reaches $19,240 as Friends pledge additional support
Summary
Library supporters and the Friends of the Library reported $19,240 raised toward a renovation project; Friends committed $1,000 and an online donation portal is live. Carpet and paint selections remain pending.
Library trustees and volunteers reported progress on a planned renovation during the council meeting. The Friends of the Library have committed $1,000, and staff said a Southwest Initiative online donation portal with a QR code is now available; total funds raised to date were reported as $19,240.
Officials said they are awaiting carpet and paint samples before placing orders and that contractor scheduling will determine the start date. Staff estimated the renovation would take two to three weeks if materials and the carpenter are available; they do not expect work to begin before the Fourth of July. Council approved moving forward with library system membership paperwork later in the meeting.
Why it matters: the renovation is funded through local fundraising and partner support; completing the project will affect library service, programming and public use of the facility.
