Well, the old fence. Now new.
This is part of the historic fence that used to surround the Stewart Memorial Church in Dwight. Earlier this year, the Church held a fundraiser here at the library with the goal being to raise enough money to restore the old picket fence.
They were very successful, and the fence was replaced with a new one -- copying faithfully the old design.
So, what to do with the old fence? Well, that too became a fundraiser, and sections of the fence were sold. The library was happy to secure enough of the original fence to set off the new community garden and Book Nook.
Thanks to our volunteers, who cleaned and repainted the old fence, and helped install it.
We think it looks absolutely fabulous.
