The building of the new library has been a challenging
and rewarding project for the Board and Darby Community. We are
so grateful to everyone who had a part in making this vision a reality.
It is a remarkable achievement to construct a $900,000 new debt
free facility. This is tribute to the community that got behind
this project and supported it in so many ways. The board initiated
the dream of a modern, state of the art, new facility four years
ago and pursued its vision without looking backwards, but always
forward to its completion. This was completed by forming partnerships
with community organizations such as the US Forest Service, the
Darby Town Council, the Ravalli County Commissioners, LVA Bitterroot,
Trapper Peak Job Corps, Bitterroot RC&D, Darby School District,
the Friends of the Darby Library, the Montana Economic Development
Corporation, and the Darby Community.
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed
in so many ways; to those who gave of their time and talents, to
those who gave monetary support, from the girls who donated part
of their profit from their lemonade stand, to our major donor who
issued a $250,000 challenge grant, to those who gave support by
your words and your actions, to our partners. It couldn't have been
done without you. Your generous outpouring of encouragement and
support forever enriches the Darby Community.
THANK YOU!
