Kanawha County Library Challenge Exceeded
WEST VIRGINIA....
Kanawha County Library leaders are attempting to raise $47 million, $40 million to buy land and build a new main library at the corner of Lee Street and Leon Sullivan Way and $7 million to improve branches throughout the county. Fundraisers raked in over $500,000 through a recent challenge grant in which John L. and Jane Ray said, if leaders raised $300,000 by September 30th, they'd throw in another $100,000. That goal was exceeded, and, by the end of Thursday, when the challenge ended, the tally had risen to $419,160.
