Saturday, September 24, 2011DURHAM — Funds for the future public library are stacking up, with two-thirds of the fundraising goal already met.
"We have made significant progress in our fundraising, having received pledges totaling well over $600,000 toward our goal of raising $900,000," said Durham Public Library Board of Trustees Chair Doug Bencks.
The funding has come from over 75 major donors and the library is continuing to ask the community for support in hopes of exceeding the goal.
The library is hoping to open its new facility in the summer of 2013. The 10,500-square-foot community library will be at 49 Madbury Road. The two-story facility will offer ample space for shelving, a large community room, study and conference rooms, wireless Internet access, electronic workstations, a children's activity area, and a café.
