The Lehigh
Valley Community Foundation has awarded $22,500
for the purchase of a delivery van for the
Millennium Project, a cooperative effort of the
Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton public libraries
to share resources, save costs and more
efficiently serve the public. The project was
conceived by the directors of the three
libraries: Janet Fricker
of Bethlehem Area Public Library, Renee Haines
of Allentown Public Library, and Jennifer
Stocker of Easton Area Public Library so their
patrons will be able to borrow materials online
without going through interlibrary loan, a more
costly alternative. The three libraries already
share an online catalog system. The van will
enable daily deliveries between the three
libraries.
The Lehigh Valley Community Foundation is a
collaboration among area philanthropists to
improve the quality of life in our region. They
awarded a substantial number of grants to area
nonprofits totaling $1,748,935 last year. The
South Side Branch of the Bethlehem Area Public
Library benefited from a Lehigh Valley Community
Foundation $5000 grant for the recent
renovations to the first floor. Easton Area
Public Library’s Henry F. Marx Local History
Room benefited from a recent $8000 grant from
the Louise Moore Pine and Roswell Dean Pine Fund
of the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation.
Bernard Story, President and CEO of the Lehigh
Valley Community Foundation presented the check
to the three directors on Friday, April 5 at the
Allentown Public Library.
