LARGO - The Rotary Club of Largo presented a $25,000 check to the Greater Largo Library Foundation Monday afternoon. The money was generated from Rotary fundraisers, including "Death by Chocolate." The $25,000 will go toward the new library's Children's Program room. So far, the new $21-million library has pulled in $1.45-million in community pledges, about 75 percent of its total goal of $1.9-million. "We're getting to the point where it gets really hard," said Keith Bailey, the foundation's president.
