KEYSER - With opportunities and activities for all ages making the libraries in Keyser, Burlington and Fort Ashby vital parts of the local communities, the library system is once again having to reach out to those communities for financial support.
The board of directors for the Mineral County Public Library system recently explained that, in 2020, the library was given a waiver from its required match for state funding due to COVID-19 limitations.
“This waiver from the state made it possible for the system of libraries to continue offering as many services as possible during a national pandemic,” said the library board in a letter to local businesses.
