The Melcher-Dallas Friends of the Library have received a $20,000 dollar donation from the Weiler Foundation.
Melcher-Dallas has nearly completed the restoration of a new library building and Friends of the Library Member Pat Jenkins says she was surprised to get such an enthusiastic response when she spoke to Weiler about sponsoring a fundraiser. The Foundation told her they would like to sponsor the fundraiser, and they would give the $20,000 that was neccessary to complete the restoration. Weiler Foundation President Megan Green says the library donation is a part of Weiler’s continuing commitment to local institutions. The Weiler Foundation’s mission is to enhance opportunity and education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Green says libraries offer tools for all kinds of learning.
