Successful Conclusion to VTL’s Chapter 1 Inspire. Explore. Belong. Campaign

Valley of the Tetons Library (VTL) is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the Chapter 1 Inspire. Explore. Belong. Campaign. This targeted initiative toward building a new library in Driggs sought private donations for three foundational areas – land acquisition and preparation, a planning study and architectural needs assessment, and a community awareness plan and organizational development.

“We are so grateful for your generous support, which has helped us achieve remarkable progress in our Inspire. Explore. Belong. Campaign for the Valley of the Tetons Library. Together, we surpassed our Chapter I fundraising goal and are thrilled to share the impact of your contributions,” said Emily Bahr, Director of External Affairs and Advancement, in an email to stakeholders.
