The Keene Memorial Library expansion project has reached the halfway point of a $9.4 million fund-raising goal.

In 2018, Fremont voters approved a $2 million bond issue for the project.

Those funds, along with donations, grants and pledges, have put the project at 50% of its goal.

Members of the library’s board learned about the fundraising when they met Monday night in the Fremont Municipal Building.
