These are the items that we will be purchasing with the funds that are donated to Grow Nelson Library. For example, if you would like to help with our Young Adult “Do-It” Center we could use your donation of $250.00 for the new cookbooks for that area. Should your donation be $50.00 and you want it go towards our “Agricultural Books”, we can do that too.
