Holly Springs Will Give Sequoyah Regional Library System $4,000
The city will make an annual contribution towards the system beginning in fiscal year 2014.
The Sequoyah Regional Library System is $4,000 richer due to the actions by the city of Holly Springs.
The Holly Springs City Council on Monday voted to contribute $4,000 towards the library system, which has five branches in Cherokee County. The contribution will begin in fiscal year 2014 and will be done on an annual basis.
The moves comes after a letter the city received from Susan White, director of the the Sequoyah Regional Library System, asking the city to contribute $4,000 to the system, which serves Cherokee, Pickens and Gilmer Counties.
