29 July, 2020 No commentJust over 20 years ago, the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library Foundation was formed from the bequests of Lora Hussey, Olive Hoffman, and Mr. and Mrs. James Mayfield. Since 1999, the Foundation has quietly funded more than $870,000 in grants to the Library.

The Library Foundation funded the purchase of the mobile station to use for Outreach Initiatives in the community.
The Library Foundation funded both the original Wifi network at the Library and the recently upgraded Wifi network. These upgrades provide access to a fast Internet connection, making the HMMPL a great place to study or work.
The Library Foundation funded the Library Catalog touch screen stations and the cabinets holding them. These stations feature a smart interface to communicate with customers for fast service. They are easy to use and help the Library serve more people.
‘A Discussion In Every Box!’ That’s the motto of the Library’s new Crackerjack Book program for seniors, funded by a grant from the Library Foundation. Each Crackerjack Book box contains everything necessary to host a book discussion: a popular book in multiple formats (large print, audio, and digital, discussions, questions, and an author bio). Boxes circulate to local senior residential communities.
