From The Friends of the Edgartown Public Library in Edgartown:
"At the beginning of this year, a volunteer program begun in 2007 passed the $10,000 mark in funds raised for the campaign to build the new Edgartown Public Library. Now the total has climbed to $13,500 -- all of it raised by recycling cans and bottles, five cents at a time. If there's a better example of how little efforts can add a lot to advance the campaign for a new Edgartown Library, we'd like to hear it!
A friend of the library expansion project has kindly volunteered to manage this program, with collection bins set up at sites around the Island for returnable bottles and cans, and all proceeds going toward the new building fund."
