The public space in front of the Miller Memorial Library (the Donald Hall Terrace) is ready for a fresh vision. Currently underutilized and primed for a reimagine, it has the potential to become a vibrant and useful space for the community. Our goal for the Great Give 2026 is to raise at least $5,000 in seed funding to kick off the reshaping of this prized area. Join us!
