A check for $12,550 from the Jarden Consumer Solutions Community Fund Committee was presented on Friday, May 14th to Library Director Alan Kornblau, Assistant Directors Karen Evanson & Mykal Banta and Children's Librarian, Dr. Lynda Hunter at the Delray Beach Public Library located at 100 West Atlantic Avenue.
This $12,550 check, raised by employees of Jarden Consumer Solutions will be used to fund the Library's Summer Reading Program. Children from the Boys & Girls Club, Carver Middle School, The Milagro Center, Youthland Academy, Banyan Creek Elementary School and Library patrons will attend special literacy programming, games and crafts, storytelling, puppet shows and many new books will be given to each child. It will be a great opportunity to issue new library cards to all children attending these many free programs during the months of June through July, 2010 in the Library's wonderful Children's Department.
