The Library Endowment Fund will not be holding their annual dinner in 2021, and board members encourage fund supporters to attend the open house. They plan to have other types of events later in 2021 and early 2022. Donations made to the Lake County Library Building Fund in honor of Virginia Stratton will be matched by the Endowment.
The open house and dedication event is free and open to the public. Questions about the event may be directed to Amy Hutchinson, Lake County Library Director, at 541-947-6019.
