Pleasant Valley Library after the Fire (Aired On December 29 & 30, 2018)

Pleasant Valley Rotarians Dave and Kathy Kruger, well known to listeners to
RadioRotary as producer and occasional substitute host, are also both on the
Board of the Pleasant Valley Library, which suffered a terrible fire on November
6. The fire started with an electrical problem in the basement, collapsed the first
floor of the building, moved up through hollow walls to the attic, and essentially
destroyed the interior of the building. Quick work by the Pleasant Valley Fire
Volunteers with help from eight other local fire departments, saved special items
from the building and prevented complete collapse—the shell of the 150-year-old
building is still intact, and plans are underway to create a new building that will
maintain that façade. Listen to the show to hear the Krugers explain the plans for
the library in the future and find out how you can help the rebuilding.
