Honoring Sharon Fouts At Milford Public Library

In honor of Sharon Fouts, who passed away Saturday, April 21, library staff and board members will make contributions to the Milford Public Library Endowment Fund. We ask that you consider doing the same. Your donation will support the library Sharon loved and is part of the long range plan to keep the library in Milford forever.

Making a donation to purchase materials in Fouts’ memory is also an option. She was an avid reader. Fouts worked at the library for 15 years as a clerk. Even after she retired, Fouts continued volunteering at the library. Staff members will remember her for her wit, work ethic, and her wonderful angel food cake, and will miss her greatly.

We have some terrific reading incentives you can earn by reading lots of minutes—food coupons, books, kazoos and other music makers. Participants will earn a chance to vote on their favorite community project. This year we are going to help the Milford School choir, band or orchestra with a project they have chosen to enhance their program. The group with the most votes at the end of the summer wins. Our Summer Reading program will be available to take home by May 29. Make plans to visit the library this summer.
