The library has become the hub of the community. The original dream that seemed so large at the time has now reached its limits. We need your help in building a larger space. Following your dreams we hope to include areas that the community can use after hours.

The current plans will nearly double the size, adding the 1100 square foot community space and increasing the occupancy to 130 people. Additionally there will be new bathrooms, staff support space, an update to the current library area for better lighting, computer space, reading and storage areas.

The architectural estimates for the work are at $550,000. We will be working with local contractors to bid out the work. We are also hoping to work with contractors that provide eco-friendly building.

Your contributions will help make this a reality. Please see our “Take Action” page to find out how to donate.

The Importance of a Library

As Alice Crawford said in her book The Meaning of the Library, “from Greek and Roman times to the digital era, the library has remained central to knowledge, scholarship, and the imagination.” We have seen firsthand the use of the library light up the imagination of children and adults alike. Help us continue that spark for the Penns Valley area.
