During an after-school meeting, the Holley Elementary School Student Council created coin collection containers to assist the Community Free Library in Holley raise funds to replace their roof. Larry Dabney, a retired Holley teacher who also serves on the library board, assisted the students in creating the containers. His grandson, Thomas Dobri, is also on the Student Council. Dabney expects that the fundraising will take quite a while.

The students walked into the village and asked local businesses permission to leave a collection container for public donations. The containers have been placed in the following locations: Community Free Library, Village of Holley offices, Dr. Schiavone’s practice, First Niagara Bank, Sam’s Diner, Heath & Martin, Nationwide office, Dr. Thompson’s office, Kurtz’s Car Care, Wiley’s Ark Animal Care, Save-A-Lot food stores, Holley Pharmacy, and the Holley Post Office. Donations can be made at the library and collection containers can also be found at Holley Elementary.
