(KNZA)--The Morrill Public Library recently received a $1,000 donation from Jere Bruning to refurbish the lights in the Library stacks and reading areas.

“The Board of Trustees is working on plans to rejuvenate and preserve our historic building,” said Library Director Jessica Ezell. “But thanks to Mr. Bruning’s generous donation, we were able to go ahead and address an immediate need that benefits everyone right away.”

Bruning is an ongoing supporter of the Library and its services. In recent years he has donated for the purchase of AWE educational computers for the children’s library, the digitization of the newspaper collection, and the purchase of dies for the Library’s paper cutting machine.
