She also appointed Michele Hammell to the library’s board of trustees.
Ariel Valle, general cónsul of El Salvador, thanked West Milford for the donation of a firetruck. “The entire country only has 17 fire stations for 7 million people,” he said.
The donation will allow for a new fire station to open, he added.
