Friendship - The Allegany County Area Foundation recently
awarded a $266.86 grant to the Friendship Free Library. Founded in 1897, the library serves 5000-6000
individuals annually. Library Director Michelle Hill reports that the money
will be used to update the library’s collection of holiday themed books and
DVDs.
This grant was made possible from the earnings of the Susan
Foster Myers Memorial Endowment Fund, which was established in 2014 by Alan W.
Myers as a memorial to his late wife. Susan
was a devoted community volunteer, serving the Cub Scouts, town and county
government and devoting ten years as library board president. The endowment
provides annual support for the library’s operations and programs.
With 9.4 million dollars in assets, the Allegany County Area
Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that encourages education and social,
cultural and civic projects benefiting the residents of Allegany County. The
Foundation manages a variety of funds and welcomes gifts, which are
tax-deductible, including memorials for friends and loved ones. For more
