The community unites to help Boone Area Library

Community members have really shown how much they care about the Boone Area Library.

The Boone Area Library was in danger of closing in October but after the director talked to the Borough of Birdsboro officials, the borough council decided to provide $25,000 to the library.

Wanda Druzba, president of the library’s board of trustees, said that this should help the library stay open until the end of the year.

Two sisters who volunteer at the library have also been working hard to keep it open. Payton and Lauren Haines, students at Immaculate Conception Academy, have been setting up a lemonade stand every couple of weeks to raise money.

It’s so heartwarming to see everyone working together to save the library.
