A generous donation from CNB Bank and Trust has added to the fundraising efforts of the Carlinville Public Library to pay for a new roof. CNB contrubuted $1,000 to the project during a ceremony at the bank on March 26. The donation was part of the bank's Jeans/Casual Friday initiative, a fun weekly program that is geared to help the community. Each week, anyone who wants to participate in Jeans/Casual Friday donates $2. Employees who choose not to dres casual on Friday also have the chance to donate. When the fund reaches a certain level, the money is donated to a needed cause in the community. Recent donations include the Covid-19 project of the Macoupin Center for the Developmentally Disabled, as well as food service for everyone who worked Covid-19 clinics at the Macoupin County Health Department.

CNB's contribution is one of many from the Carlinville community to the library roof fund-raising drive, which will feature serveral upcoming events this spring. For more information on how to donate to the library's effort, call 217-854-3505 or email mail@carlinvillelibrary.org.
