Belleair Bank Donates 'Library House' To Shepherd's Village

Valley National Bank surprised moms and kids at Shepherd's Village in Belleair this month with a new "library house" stocked with books.

BELLEAIR, FL -- Valley National Bank surprised moms and kids at Shepherd’s Village in Belleair this month with a new “library house,” which the bank stocked with books. Valley associates brought the book house to the facility so teens could paint the frame and add their own personal touches.

Shepherd’s Village provides transitional housing and programs for single mothers so they can overcome challenges and get back into the community. The nonprofit guides women toward spiritual and emotional growth, financial freedom and career success.

The freshly painted “take a book, leave a book” library house will be placed in the common area at Shepherd’s Village. Valley also donated a bike rack for moms and kids to safely lock their bikes up while on campus.
