WPRI reports: One year after donating $10,000 to Central Falls’ Adams Memorial Library in Rhode Island, Alec Baldwin sent another $5,000 check to the library in response to its year-end fundraising appeal.
“I am overwhelmed with gratitude,” said library board president Bruce Kaplan. “A year ago, Alec’s donation helped us keep the doors open. This year he’s helping us expand hours of operation and community programming.”
Funding for the Adams Memorial Library was cut in the wake of Central Falls’ bankruptcy. It was forced to close its doors for several months in 2011, until a group of volunteers raised enough money to reopen the library.
