donation from Verizon for township library PLAINSBORO TOWNSHIP -- The township has received a dona tion from Verizon for the new Plainsboro Library. Mayor Peter Cantu recently accepted a $24,000 dona tion from Mark Bocchieri, Verizon's director of external affairs.
This is the first of two installments that will total $50,000. Through its fundraising campaign, "Leave a Legacy, Build a Library," Plainsboro has raised $1.4 million for the library under construction at the Village Center.
Plans for the library call for the construction of a three-story, 34,000-square-foot facility which will hold 125,000 volumes and provide informal reading areas, display space for art, study rooms, 40 computer stations, a children's section with a greatly expanded science/ computer center, a local-history room, administrative offices, storage space, and community meeting rooms. Situated at the head of Market Square, with its expansive village green, the new site offers a venue for the library's indoor and outdoor community-based
programs.
