Senator Carlucci
Presents Our Library
with a New American Flag
On December 23, 2015, we were honored to have
Senator David Carlucci present us with a new
American Flag to fly proudly over our library. This was
made possible through the Senator’s “Operation
Raise the Flag Program,” which collects old and
damaged flags throughout the district and replaces
them with colorful new ones. Thank you Senator
Carlucci for your continued support!
