Battle Creek Library Foundation

The Foundation's current major project is fundraising for a new building.Our largest donation to date came from the estate of Florence Michaelson. The Foundation received $77,565.48 for the Building fund.This brings the current balance for the fund to $192,221.00. Over the past year our CD's have earned us more than $4,000 (included in the current balance). These new funds will also be invested to work for the progress on our building.

Over the last few months the Foundation's Building Committee has been tearing down the old buildings on the lots the City of Battle Creek has donated for building the new library on.They have made a lot of progress.The overhead doors have been salvaged and sold to add to the building fund.Some of the rafters from the main building have been sold and others have been recreated into rustic benches to raise money for the building as well.Other materials will also be salvaged.Below are some pictures of the demolition:
