The Bank of Forest donated $5,000 to the Friends of the Forest Public Library which began the fundraising project for the purchase of shelving and interior furnishings for the new Library.
Thank you, Bank of Forest!

The citizens, Friends, and businesses of Forest, Miss. pulled together to raise the amazing amount of more than $68,000.00 in less than six months! We would like to thank all of those supporters by name, but forgive us if we miss anyone. A special thanks to the students of the Forest area, who supported the project by collecting change! So, to everyone; thank you. Your donation of time and money toward making the opening of the new Library possible will be appreciated for many years, affecting generations to come.

Thank you!
