WELLS — The Harbor Candy Shop, creators of fine gourmet chocolates and confections, has offered the community a sweet way to delight loved ones this Valentine’s Day ”“ and to support the Wells Public Library’s Growing Again program at the same time.

Between Feb. 1-14, Harbor Candy Shop, located in downtown Ogunquit, will donate 15 percent of its retail sales to the project to renovate and expand the Wells Public Library. The project, which is a public-private partnership with the town of Wells, includes upgrades to the existing outdated and over-crowded library building and an attached two-story addition. To date, more than $560,000 has been contributed and pledged to the Growing Again campaign by individuals, businesses, foundations and organizations.

The Wells Public Library provides loans of books, movies, music and other materials as well as access to the Internet and a wide array of programs and services at no cost to Wells residents and property owners, citizens of Ogunquit, Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, employees of the town of Wells, teachers in the Wells-Ogunquit Consolidated School District, and students and faculty of the York County Community College.

Harbor Candy Shop is open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting, at 248 Main St. in Ogunquit.

The fundraising initiative is sponsored by the Wells Public Library Foundation. Donations are tax-deductible. For more information or to offer assistance, contact Amy Anderson, Foundation president, at 251-4921 or [email protected].
