Shenango library strives to maintain services

SHARON, Pa. — Those in charge of the Community Library of the Shenango Valley admit 2007 has been a trying year.

The library, once an entity of the City of Sharon, became a nonprofit stand-along organization, underwent major funding cuts, organizational and staffing changes and, yet, has strived to offer the same level of service.

Larry Haynes, president of the library board, believes the only way the library will survive in the future will be with monetary support from the community.

“We’re hoping the community can grab a hold of the idea that a healthy library is the sign of a healthy area,” Haynes said.
