Donations sought for Kamas Valley library
The Friends of the Summit County Library is seeking donations to help with the construction of a new Kamas Valley branch of the Summit County Library. According to the nonprofit’s website, friendsofsummitcountylibrary.com, the Summit County Council approved funding for the facility, but the constraints on the budget limited the amenities to the basics. Friends of the Summit County Library is aiming to raise $30,000 to fund extra items in the library, such as a 3-D printer, 10 public computers and coding club licenses. Donors who give $25 or more will be recognized on a wall or plaque in the new library.
