Spring has sprung, and Great River Regional Library is celebrating by kicking off their “Locally Growin’” fundraiser!

Communications Director Abby Faulkner says donors get to choose what library their gifts go to and what wish list item they want to see at their local library. Wish list Items include USB Charging stations, escape room kits, art supplies and many more. This is the second year of the “Locally Growin’” fundraiser, last year GRRL raised nearly 20 thousand dollars.
