Unique fundraiser boosts Elgin Library

It takes a volunteer army to make a small town work at full efficiency. And Elgin has got just that with the brave volunteers helping out to make its unique library fundraiser a success.

The recent Elgin Library fundraiser tied to the “Anne of Green Gables” book theme was just a start. More events are planned around different book themes. The goal is to make up for money lost since the library district was not formed to help get some money back for reading programs.

As anyone who runs a business or is civic minded knows, there are tons of fundraisers out there, and equal numbers of worthy causes. Generous citizens and businesses in our communities make such fundraisers a success, and just about every kind of fundraiser has been tried. So when something new, different and fun comes along, like the Elgin Library fundraiser, it deserves a round of applause.

The Elgin Library fundraiser is helping make its little corner of the world a better place. We hope it succeeds in giving the reading program a solid foundation.
