DELRAY BEACH — The Delray Beach Lions Club has donated $500 to the Delray Beach Public Library. The money is to be used to buy materials for the library’s visually impaired patrons.

John S. Parke, treasurer, membership chairman, and a member of the Delray Beach Lions Club since 1970,  presented  the check to Library Director Alan Kornblau. “The Library is very grateful to the Lions Club for their ongoing and steadfast support and generosity.” said Mr. Kornblau.

The library was also award a Certificate of Appreciation from the Lions Club for collecting and maintaining many large print books and recordings for use by their library patrons with eyesight difficulty living in Delray Beach and surrounding communities.
