NMPL Receives Pilcrow Foundation Grant, Made Possible Through Tammy Seifert Memorial Fund1/20/2022
Pilcrow donors Drs. Bill Strawbride and Meg Wallhagen, Mr. & Mrs. Hal Berenson, Laura Ackerman, and Shout Mouse Press provided the additional health & wellness, math & science, and young author books for the library.
“It’s amazing really,” said Morbitzer. “We were able to invest $200 of Tammy Seifert’s memorial fund and it came back to us with an additional $1000 worth of books. We have board books, picture books, early readers, chapter books, and nonfiction. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate Tammy’s memorial fund and everyone at The Pilcrow Foundation. It’s been a really special way to honor Tammy’s life and legacy. She was known for helping out children through the High 5 Sports business. Now she’s helping out countless young readers in our community.” Library director Diane Randall expressed, “NMPL is so grateful for the generosity of the friends and family of Tammy Seifer for providing the memorial funding in her honor, and to the Pilcrow Foundation for providing this grant opportunity to libraries.” The books are available for checkout from the library and can be found on a special display set up across from the children’s circulation desk. Each book has a bookplate acknowledging Tammy’s memory and the generosity of her friends and family and the Pilcrow Foundation. |
