Laughlin Memorial Library has launched a campaign to help recoup the emergency costs of a new boiler system.
At the start of the heating season, Julie Mulcahy, director, said the library lost its more than 30-year-old system. After consulting with multiple companies, only one was able to order a new boiler immediately and begin work within the week. Most companies needed a month or more to fit the steam boiler for the 85-year-old library.
In a fundraising letter, Mulcahy said the work turned out to be a more expensive project, due to the additional work that had to be done to help the new system work more effectively and be brought up to code.
The library is now working to raise $128,000. Each donation given, no matter how small, will help the library continue to be a pillar in the community.
Donations are tax deductible and can be mailed or dropped off to the library, 99 11th Street, Ambridge PA 15003. Checks can be made out to Laughlin Memorial Library with "Boiler Fund" in the memo.
