Library donates materials to Purchase Area Youth Village

Beth Kerrick, children’s librarian at the Marshall County Public Library Benton branch, stands for a photo with a book donation for Purchase Area Youth Village staff. The Marshall County Public Library System recently donated books to the new Purchase Area Youth Village located in Benton. The material donated, which was previously part of the library’s collection, contains a mixture of juvenile and young adult material and will be housed at the facility so residents can easily access it.
