Funding is being sought for a project that the Kalona Library Board discussed over the winter.  Library Director Ann Skaden says the proposed Partners in Reading Park would be located on a small grassy lot to the west of the library. Plans include planting flowers and shrubs and putting in picnic tables. Skaden explains the idea came from Velma Skola, a long time library board member, who passed away in the fall. With the help of the City of Kalona, the library has submitted an application for a Washington County Riverboat grant, which would be matched by the Library Foundation, Friends of the Library group and the Skola family.
