The Stone Ridge Library is pleased to announce that it has received $1,000 from Stewart’s Holiday Match program toward an upcoming circulation area upgrade, planned for later this year. “We are thankful to Stewart’s for their work in the community, and for their support of the library’s project which will enhance library services to our patrons, including children and young adults,” said Library Director Jody Ford.
