Community partnerships are a large part of the success of fundraising to date. Forest City Community School District has partnered with the City of Forest City to develop programs for students after school and days there are no school. These integrated programs may include tutoring, STEM Programs as well as reading and learning activities. The partnership with the Forest City Community School District will help make these new programs and the new library be a reality.
Currently the project is looking for an additional $900,000 in public donations and grants. Pledges may be made online, at City Hall or the Library, and paid over five years by check, credit card or Paypal.
