<body><div>It is out with the old and in with the new at the Delta Community Library.To house the ever-expanding library collection of nearly 14,000 items, two new shelves have been added. The funds for this welcome addition came from a generous donation from Michael Phelan and a special grant from the American Library Association.Shifting of most of the books was necessary over the past two weeks to make way for the new addition. “If you need help finding anything, just ask us,” stated Library Director, Tiki Levinson.These shelves, like the others in the library, were hand built from Alaska birch. A furniture maker in Fairbanks created them to match those built by inmates at the Seward Correctional Facility in 2004.And it’s not just inside, it’s outside too.Replacing the worn-out facility sign is a colorful, modern one designed and built by Boy Scout Aden McCarrick as part of his journey to becoming an Eagle Scout. The previous sign for the facility was both dilapidated and no longer accurate, as funds from Fort Greely Community Coalition no longer support the library as the old sign stated.Funds were donated from Kinross and the Bethke family along with donations from other library patrons.The Bethke children created a small 3-D printing business and donated the proceeds to the sign project. The old sign was removed and refurbished, and a new metal sign was attached to it.Aden hopes the sign will, as so many Eagle Scout projects have in the past, add value to our community for years to come.</div></body>
