Today in history

In 1997: With a $1 million pledge to the Herrick District Library expansion, fund-raising efforts to reduce the project’s costs are underway. A donation to the $11.5 million project from the Herrick Foundation, a long-time library supporter, was announced by the Herrick District Library board Monday. Voters in the city of Holland and Holland, Park and Laketown townships will be asked May 6 to approve a millage to expand and operate the library. A fund-raising committee has been working to raise at least $2 million in private donations. The Herrick Foundation was established by former Holland residents Ray and Hazel Herrick.
