From the Greenfield Public Library Foundation:
The Greenfield Public Library Foundation Board of Directors is pleased to announce it has presented the city of Greenfield with its third check for $500,000 to offset the construction costs of the new Greenfield Public Library building. This is the third of four fund transfers the Foundation expects to deliver to the city.
The Foundation makes this gift to Greenfield on behalf of the hundreds of citizens of Greenfield and beyond who have given funds to help build the new library.
Board members also wish to acknowledge and thank the many dedicated and hard-working members of the City’s staff and the volunteers who have led this project to its completion delivering our amazing state-of-the-art library for the citizens of the community to enjoy. The Library Building Committee is particularly saluted for its time and efforts.
The full $2-million fundraising goal is already pledged to the Foundation enabling it to have made transfers to the City on a regular basis. As pledged funds for this project continue to be collected, the Foundation plans to make its final payment at some point next year.
As the Foundation moves into its next fundraising phase in support of the new library building, community members interested in making a donation can visit the Greenfield Public Library Foundation’s website to donate online at https://www.greenfieldpubliclibraryfoundationma.org/online-giving.html or mail checks to PO Box 352 Greenfield MA 01302.
