The funds raised supported the purchase of approximately 180 DEI books (!), including many titles that are currently in high demand with long waitlists. Congressman Joe Neguse stopped by the library to learn more about the effort and celebrate its success. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this important fundraiser!
