The Fayetteville Public Library is shown in this photo from Monday, April 15, 2024. (Flyer photo)The Fayetteville Public Library is still seeking donations to support restoration efforts following a fire that occurred in April.
The fire, which started on the roof due to an ember from a volunteer beekeeper’s smudge pot, caused significant smoke damage, particularly to the administrative offices and youth library areas.
To fully restore the library, a minimum of $100,000 is needed to cover the insurance deductible and additional repair costs. An online fundraising campaign has so far secured $23,257 in donations.
“Every contribution, big or small, will help us get back to offering all the programs and resources you love,” according to a library statement. “Let’s show the world that when it comes to supporting our library, we’re fire starters in the best possible way!”
