CONWAY — Thursday marked a milestone for the Conway Public Library, as the two columns and a pilaster column were at long last delivered.
They will be used to replace original columns that were damaged in a fatal March 31, 2022, crash that took the life of Brooke Barron, a young local woman who was a passenger in the vehicle. The driver was charged with manslaughter and is serving prison time.
