Our Campaign Team

The Open a Modern Classic Capital Campaign will forever transform the Kanawha Valley by creating a new main library in the heart of Charleston's downtown area. In addition, six Kanawha county communities will benefit from either new or expanded branch libraries.

All successful projects of this magnitude require strong leadership and a corps of dedicated professionals and volunteers. The Capital Campaign team is deeply committed to realizing the vision of a vibrant library system—a vision that has been twenty years in the making.
