The Petersburg Library Foundation is building a large, flexible Conference/Event Center at the Petersburg Public Library to better serve the Petersburg community. To date, we've raised ~$1.7 million!
How can you help? We need to raise $6,000 by October 16 in order to qualify for significant support from the Gannett Foundation. Your gift of $25, $50, $100 or more will help us meet that goal.
When it's finished, the Conference/Event Center will welcome children for story times, performances, classes and other age-appropriate activities. The Conference/Event Center will also host business, civic and government meetings, weddings, parties and other celebations, and more!
Your support will help us:
- Expand the current meeting space to create a Conference/Event Center that can accommodate up to 375 people
- Create secure and lighted additional parking spaces to support the new Conference/Event Center
- Purchase tables, chairs, story mats and other furnishings for use in the new space
- Install energy-efficient LED lights
- Upgrade technology
- Create storage space for furnishings and supplies, thereby freeing up Library space currently used for this purpose
- Expand the Wellness Center so that larger audiences for health-related programs can be accommodated
