An anonymous donor has agreed to donate $25,000 to the Knoxville Public Library’s “Connect to the Next Edition” capital campaign if the Library can raise a $25,000 match for a total of $50,000 to go towards the project.

Capital Campaign Co-Chair Penny Sommar tells KNIA/KRLS News she is encouraged with the generosity the city has shown so far towards the project and she thinks the city will be able to match the donation. In October the library announced it had raised $4,316,945 towards the project following a $425,000 Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) Grant from the Enhance Iowa Program.
