The Friends sent out 1,990 fund-raising flyers in May and received 62 replies: a response that can only be described as pathetic.

Now, THIS is a “good news” article! Expanding and enhancing the library space is so very important for Cape Charles. Libraries have always been an asset to communities, but never so much as during times of economic downturn. Knowledgeable staff and updated print and computer resources help job seekers gain new skills and find employment opportunities, help students with schoolwork and enrichment activities, aid historians and genealogists in research, and facilitate continuous learning. In addition, an expanded library space provides meeting rooms for community groups and cultural programming for all.

Let’s all chip in to make the new library space the pride of Cape Charles! Make a donation to the Friends of the Cape Charles Library as a holiday “toast to learning!”

Wonderful! Cape Charles has long needed an expanded space. I travel from Cheriton to Accomac to use the Eastern Shore room often. Miles Barnes has so many more records than he has space for and it will be so nice to have space to put them in the room. Also at this time they do not have adequate space for speakers on genealogy and history. The new libraries will be a great benefit to both communities. Nancy Garrett
