From Gary Neuenschwander
on behalf of the Campaign Committee
Monroe Public Library
To the Editor:
Thank you, Monroe.
Your generosity, your desire for a modern, up-to-date library, and your vision for the future have come through during our fundraising campaign for the Monroe Public Library. Thanks to you, we have surpassed our goal of $1.5 million. As of July 27, pledges and donations have totaled $1,650,930.46.
Support from the community has been overwhelming. On behalf of the campaign committee, I extend a sincere thank you to each of you. Conducting a fundraising campaign during a pandemic proved challenging, yet your continued support and encouragement reinforced our belief Monroe truly is a special place.
Now the work begins. Design plans are being finalized, and we are hopeful renovation work can begin early in 2022.
Early on, we chose “Let’s Do Something Extraordinary for Monroe” as our campaign slogan. It sums up everything we strived and hoped for. Most of all, it proved so very true. You did something extraordinary for Monroe.
You did something extraordinary for Monroe
The Campaign for the Monroe Public Library as of July 14, 2021
