It's Library Lovers Month so our conversation today featured Michelle Ross, Executive Director at Samuels Public Library. The library is hosting a "Day of Giving" on February 23, 2023. Joining us for the chat was Lewis Moten, owner of Code Jamboree to talk about his matching grant of $3500 for everyone who donates to the library in the month of Feburary. Michelle explained the impact that Lewis's matching grant will have and talked about the improvements they plan to make when the fundraiser is over. Lewis explained that being involved in the community is important to him and his hope that more people will donate so the full match is fulfilled.
