Irene Galloway Endowment Fund |
| The Otsego District Library Irene Galloway Fund was established in November 1999 in honor of longtime library user, supporter and board member Irene Galloway. A lifelong resident of the Otsego area, Irene and her family truly recognized the value of the public library within the Otsego community. Her public service for the library began in 1974 as an appointed board representative from Otsego Township. She retired from her board position in October 1999, after having served the library for more than 25 years. |
| The library honored Irene with the establishment of the endowment fund in her name in November 1999 at a special board meeting and the Otsego Friends of the Library made a special gift to initiate the fund. Her smile and warm appreciation for the honor let everyone know that evening of her satisfaction in receiving it. Irene sadly and suddenly passed away in January 2000. The library is proud of Irene’s longtime service and her dedication to the people of this community. |
| Annual proceeds from the endowment fund will eventually be used to support children’s and adult programs and events at the library. Please consider giving to the endowment in honor of all those who have ever had a love for their library and for the good that it can do. |
