All donations are welcome and any amount will help. Click here to Make an Online Donation to the Library Project. Thank you for prayerfully considering!
Children do not have access to libraries in rural communities of El Salvador. In 2017 a library was established in San Cristóbal through our sister-parish partnership. The large parish hall currently houses 20 computers and 200 books, and houses many activities. A quiet space is needed. Our Salvadoran twinning team designated a utility shed on parish grounds as the future sight of the new library. While the team in El Salvador is working on acquiring the building supplies needed to make renovations, we are fundraising to purchase furniture books and Kindles for the library. Check out this cool video created for Ohio folks to see the vision of the new library.
