Library funds needed
By AMANDA GRANTHAM BRANCH MANAGER,

I am writing to update you on the progress of the renovation of the Eufaula Memorial Library.

I am excited about the changes happening. All the mold has been removed and new drywall has been installed. Texture has been added and it looks as good as new! Every wall has been painted and it looks fresh and clean.

New windows have been installed in the children’s area giving a more modern look. All the flooring has been removed and we are awaiting the shipment of the new flooring this week. Lastly, the most exciting thing is new light fixtures have been installed in the main library area and the meeting room. They brighten up the spaces!

I want to thank the City of Eufaula for all their support. They have replaced the siding on the west side of the building, repaired leaks in the roof, replaced the leaking windows, and got the mold remediation company to remove the mold.

They also helped us move furniture to storage so construction could begin. I also want to thank the Friends of the Eufaula Memorial Library for their support. Their monetary donation to this project and help with fundraising is appreciated.

I would like your help in completing this project. There has been a lot of progress in the last few weeks, and I want to keep the momentum going.

To reopen the library we need more funds to replace the rest of the light fixtures and furnish the library. Any amount that will help us reach this goal is appreciated.

If you have any questions please contact me at (580) 380-1527 or agrantham@eols.org.
