As we approach Thanksgiving, we think of people who have made significant differences in our community. Some exceptional individuals come to mind this year.
Betty and Norton Melaver served on the boards of the library and its foundation. They shared their time and wisdom, and gave the initial gift to start The Library Legacy Fund, an endowment fund for planned giving. They understood the important role of libraries in our lives and wanted to ensure that the library would continue to thrive and grow to meet the needs of its users. Norton died in 2011 and Betty in September, but their shared commitment to our quality of life continues.
We lost Joan Hollingsworth just last week. This dedicated educator with a quick wit served on the board of trustees in Liberty County for many years and worked tirelessly for excellent library services. She made being involved more fun for all who served with her, and her high standards in education benefitted everyone who came under her tutelage.
Last year, five year old Emily Whittle made sure that her friends knew that the library was her favorite place. She even asked them to make a donation to the library foundation in lieu of a birthday gift to her. We got to know her mother, Dr. Lisa Stewart Whittle, when she and Emily came to the library to present us with those gifts. We were in awe of the philanthropic example Dr. Whittle set in motion for her daughter. Although Emily lost her dear mother this year, her father, Dr. John Whittle, made sure to continue his wife's example. We recently received birthday gifts from Emily's friends again a year later.
Often we do not know the impact our actions have on those around us nor can we foresee what they will mean in the future. Rest assured, these individuals have made a lasting contribution in our community. Your support and example makes a difference!
