The Assistant Director of The Green Free Library had an unpleasant surprise shortly after opening yesterday. Upon starting down the steps to a basement storage area she found several inches of water flooding the room. Further investigation led to the discovery of a broken hot water heater and a rather large mess. Fortunately none of the circulating basement collection of books, magazines and newspapers belonging to the library were damaged, but several boxes of books donated for the annual Friends of The Green Free Library book sale and some janitorial supplies were lost.
Repairs of several hundred dollars were necessary, and clean up is still in progress. The budget for The Green Free and other libraries across the state is already stretched tight for the upcoming year. Donations to cover unexpected expenses such as this, as well as day to day expenditures is greatly appreciated. If you would like to make a donation to the library, please send a check to: The Green Free Library, 134 Main ST , Wellsboro, PA 16901, or drop it off in person. Remember that the GFL is a non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your support.
The Green Free Library, Wellsboro PA
