Mugs for Rachael’s Library

Rachael is a Peace Corp volunteer in Benin, Africa. Sandy Miller is a potter from Painesville. Avon Lake Public Library is helping to build a library across the ocean. What do all three of these things have in common? The Library has monthly art exhibits, and during the month of March, Sandy Miller’s work is on exhibit. Her pottery is stunning, but there is also a very special exhibit of Sandy’s work on display. “Mugs for Rachael’s Library” are hand made mugs and each one is unique. Rachael is Sandy’s daughter, a Kent State University graduate who has spent the last two years in Benin. All proceeds (mugs are $20 each) go towards building and furnishing a library in a small village in Benin, Africa. The village has dreamed of one day having a library. They know that knowledge is empowering, and being empowered can bring great improvements to their lives. Rachael, Sandy and Avon Lake Public Library thank you, the community, for embracing this project with such generous support. If you haven’t purchased a mug yet, stop by, there a still a handful left!
