The Virginia Public Library recently received a $433.07
donation from Fortune Bay Resort Casino that will be used to enhance the
library’s Summer Reading Program. The donation was made possible by customers
who tossed coins into the large waterfalls like fountain at Fortune Bay.
Maintenance employees collected the coins and presented them to
Fortune Bay Resort Casino employee Rob Alger, whose daughter, Delia, takes part
in the program.
“We really appreciate this donation from Fortune Bay Resort
Casino,” said Dawn Heisel, Virginia Children’s Services Librarian, who plays an
instrumental role in the reading program.
“This will really help our efforts in providing our local children
with an even better Summer Reading Program.”

Thank you, Fortune Bay, for your support of reading and the Virginia Public Library, and thank you Delia Alger and family, for thinking of us!
Susan Hoppe, Reference Services Librarian
