How will the JTEL pay for its construction?
The board has established a capital campaign to raise funds for the new library’s construction. The library holds three fundraisers a year, sought and gained two legislative appropriations (one, for the design, has been received; the second, for early construction, has been awarded but the contract is pending), is looking for federal and private foundation and other grants, has sought and qualified for Community Reven Sharing program funds, and is developing an individual donation campaign. For more on the capital campaign, please see the Capital Campaign page at the Friends of the Ester Library website or the Capital Campaign Committee page.
