Gifts to the Library!

Blackwell Library recently received two very generous donations and we would like to publicly express our gratitude. One gift of $10,000 was received from Margarette H. Eley of Dover, Delaware, while a gift of $5000 came from Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Layton of Salisbury.

Dean Alice Bahr said the following about gifts in our latest newsletter:

"Every gift the library receives is appreciated. A book, a monetary donation, funds to acquire a specific piece of equipment—they all improve library services. Generous donors provide more than physical gifts, however; they affirm the value and importance of libraries in their life and the lives of others. The thought does count. [These donations] to Blackwell Library will defray essential collections costs and make new resources and services possible."
