Library director Erlinda C.

Because of their hard work, our library grounds were bush cut, trimmed, and cleaned. Our walkways and the entire JKPL parking lot were water blasted. Thank you for extending this much needed beautification effort for our humble library,” she said.

JKPL continues to invite and welcome partnership efforts from agencies such as yours to help assist us in our beautification efforts.
