Baha'i youth donate to Library Association

The Baha'i Youth Service Group (ages 11-14) held a bake sale held on Sunday, September 6, and Monday, September 7 and raised over $300 to support the Yellow Springs Library. They are seen here at the Baha'i center at 502 Dayton Street Sunday donating the money to the Yellow Springs Library Association (President Becky Eschliman is in the rear - the kids are (L-R) Alex Strolger, Nadia Mulhall, Ursula Kremer, Anisa Kastle, Miles Weimer, Ceilidh Conway, Madeline Nielsen and the group's advisor Anisa Qualls).

According to Eschliman, when asked why they selected the library as the recipient for their service project, they said it was because it was one thing they all had in common, and it was gratifying how aware they were of the funding circumstances; when asked what they best liked about the library, several said the programs, one said the movies (both the ones shown there and the ones to check out), and nearly all chimed in "the books!"

Thanks so much everyone for your hard work! The library is very special to me too. What a great choice for a service project. I am excited to hear about what you will do next!
