Penny Drive Raises $1,665 in Coins and Dollars!

Children from Vicki's Daycare in Colfax celebrate with the Reading Bear

Thank you to all the groups, classrooms, daycares, and individuals who donated this year in celebration of National Library Week. Each library branch designated a special project for the money collected, with funds used for everything from Summer Reading goodies to library projects.

Vicki Hatley's Daycare was the overall winner with over $290; they were rewarded with prizes and a party! Endicott Library brought in over six pounds of coins for a whopping $232 and Rosalia Library gained $124. 

Jennings Elementary School had nine classrooms participate with Mrs. Fulfs 6th grade students collecting nearly $131. One teacher commented that they enjoyed participating in the Penny Drive because they know the library makes every penny count!
