The library expansion reflects something wonderful about Goldston: people investing in the future of their neighbors.
The original project announcement credits legacies from the estates of Jimmy Goldston and Virginia Hester for making the expansion possible.
Gifts from the late Rebecca (Becky) Watson and Gaines Oil Company supported the architect’s fees.
These acknowledgments come from the archived expansion page. Contact the Friends for the current construction status.
