A recent survey revealed that many college students are struggling financially, with 31 percent of those surveyed reporting they ran out of money six or more times in the past year. Glen Oaks Community College was among the 263 institutions that participated in the self-reported, online survey that documents postsecondary students’ financial wellbeing and success indicators nationwide.

The White Pigeon Township Library is shifting gears, so to speak, in its efforts to obtain a vehicle equipped to provide materials, resources, and services to patrons and residents who may not have access to the library due to mobility, transportation or socio-economic limitations. The library has reduced its original fundraising goal, and is now hoping to purchase a truck and cargo trailer rather than a Sprinter van.
