LIBRARY NEEDS NEW HOME – The Rhome Public Library is trying to raise money to build a new, permanent facility. Rent on the current library, at 265 BC Rhome Ave., will double the first of September and is expected to quadruple by December, according to library board president Janice Wilson. The library can’t afford to stay at this location, and the rate hike pushed board members to move forward with a campaign to raise money for a new building. The library already owns a lot at Logan and Main Streets, and although they have a building fund started, they need to raise approximately $240,000 for the project. To donate to the Rhome library building fund, call Wilson at (940) 577-2266 or call the library at (817) 636-2767. You can also bring donations to the library.
