Squirrels in the Attic

Today they pulled all the siding off of the end of the building and guess what????? . . . .. there had been lots of squirrels enjoying the library too!
Here’s what is under the roof . . . . What? . . . . No book reading squirrels!
Steel beam and open roof!

Ready for the Concrete

Ready to Pour the Concrete Pad

The site work has been completed with electrical and plumbing and now we are ready for the concrete pad to be poured this week. We will also get a temporary wall installed in the library so that work on connecting the two buildings can be done.

The Perry Foundation

The Perry Foundation, a philanthropic organization located in Charlottesville, Virginia, has awarded matching grants for a variety of JMRL projects. In July, The Perry Foundation presented Grow Nelson Library with a challenge grant of $100,000.00 provided that we raise $150,000.00. These funds will provide Nelson Memorial Library with an opening day collection, funding to continue to add new selections to the collection, media equipment, and other essentials to create a vibrant community center.

Every donation that is received between now and July 2020 will be applied to that goal. Your donation made either through this website, by check to Nelson Memorial Library Fund (Nelson Memorial Library, P O Box 321, Lovingston, Virginia 22949), or dropped off at the library will make a difference. Remember that your donation is tax exempt.
