Library Launches Go Fund Me For Roof Repairs

(KAIR)--The Atchison Library is set to re-open Friday after powerful winds Monday afternoon ripped the copper sheeting off the roof.

Library Director Jacque Slingsby said they decided to get creative to try and raise money for the repairs.

“We decided to do a Go Fund Me, and if a lot of people can help a little bit, we thought that would be a really neat way to have the community support,” Slingsby said. “We've had so many people reach out to us and ask how they can help us.”

In addition to thanking the community for their support, Slingsby had this message to city employees.

“The response from the city was awesome—from Trey popping over here, the fire department, police department, public works, they have just been incredible,” Slingsby said. “Public works crew spent the better part of today cleaning up. They've been great.”
