The J. Lewis Crozer Library would like to express its appreciation for the many contributions that Laborer’s International Union of North America, Local 413 of Chester, has made to the library over the past five years. On July 8^th, Local 413 presented a check to the library to fund a wireless Internet network in the library as well as prizes and incentives for children and teens participating in this year’s Summer Reading Club.
