Groundbreaking a rousing success

We had a wonderful day for a ceremonial groundbreaking at the Keene Memorial Library Expansion Project! Browse some of the wonderful photos taken by Kaley Schlueter Photography below.

Thank you bags assembled by our planning committee came complete with a cookie, water, donation form and a tiny shovel.

MCL Construction provided an excavator as a backdrop for the presentation. And of course, shovels and hard hats.

Support the Expansion Project!

The Friends of Keene Memorial Library are once again sponsoring the Expansion Project during the Fremont Area Big Give. Early giving is available now, or you can donate on Tuesday May 10.

We have an anonymous sponsor who will match the first $5,000 in donations, and the Rupert Dunklau Foundation matching grant is still in play. So you can effectively triple your donation during this campaign!
