Capital campaign kicks off; Crawford Library committee aims to raise $1 million by May.DUDLEY - The Capital Campaign Committee for the Pearle L. Crawford Memorial Library has launched its campaign for a new library, using the theme "The Resource for Dudley's Future." The new library will be located at the site of the former town hall on Schofield Avenue. Total cost of the project is expected to be $6.7 million. The committee's initial goal is to raise $1 million by May. In addition to the $1 million campaign goal, the library has been approved to receive $2.3 million from the state and has also received a $2 million pledge from Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Crawford Sir Hugh Crawford (~1195 - ~1265) was the Second Sheriff of Ayrshire, Chief of Clan Crawford, and Lord of Loudon Castle.
