Donation will fund playhouse & seed library at new building
Community First Bank (CFB) of Indiana has donated $25,000 to the Westfield Library Foundation to support the library’s new building set to open next year. $15,000 will be dedicated to creating a playhouse in the Children’s Department, while $10,000 will be used to establish a new seed library for gardening enthusiasts.
Downey
“The Westfield Library Foundation is thrilled to receive this generous donation from Community First Bank of Indiana,” WLF President Erin Downey said. “Its support will significantly enrich our library’s offerings.”
CFB’s generous donation will fund one of three playhouses in the new library that are part of a larger mock town. The seed library will provide a space where residents can borrow, exchange, or donate seeds for various plants, such as vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Seed libraries are a popular way of promoting biodiversity, sustainability, and local agriculture.
Blume
“Community First Bank of Indiana believes in investing in the communities we serve,” CFB President/CEO Robb Blume said. “We recognize the invaluable role that libraries play in fostering education, personal growth, and community engagement. We are proud to partner with the Westfield Washington Public Library as it embarks on this exciting new chapter.”
Other naming rights and sponsorship opportunities are available at the new library. Anyone interested in learning more should contact Downey at edowney@wwpl.lib.in.us or (317) 896-9397, ext. 119.
