Something’s missing at Eckhart Public Library? Did you notice that our beautiful, historic fountain is gone?

Don’t worry, though – we plan for it to come back soon! The fountain was disassembled on Tuesday, February 16, and driven to Alabama for renovation.

Your support will help us meet our goal of reinstalling the fountain in the library park this summer. Please follow this link to make your online donation through the Community Foundation of DeKalb County’s online giving portal, Network for Good. Be sure to designate your gift for the EPL Fountain Fund. You may also download a pledge card or see any librarian for a pledge card. Please contact us or call 260-925-2414 with any questions.

About Jenny

I am the Associate Director of Eckhart Public Library. My office is in the Administrative Annex, but I can often be found roaming the Eckhart Public Library Campus, performing acts of librarianship in every department! I love to read and learn about history. I'm also a huge fan of movies, TV and pop culture in general, and I love to read books of all types. Currently, I'm working my way around the romance section, with some historical fiction and graphic novels thrown in for variety! But you never know what I'm going to pick up next.
