The Mont Vernon Library Charitable Foundation is delighted to announce a major gift in support of their commitment to build a new library for the town of Mont Vernon. Upon her death earlier this fall, Sherri Conyers, a Mont Vernon resident bequeathed the sum of one million dollars to the MVLCF in support of the project in memory of her late husband, David Lawrence Moore. At their meeting on Monday December 16th, the MVLCF board of directors voted to accept this very significant gift and to honor Sherri’s generosity by naming the adult reading room in the new library in honor of her husband, David Lawrence Moore. This gift represents the single largest commitment to the project to date.
This gift will continue a tradition started by the late Sophia Daland when she left the town the funds to establish the existing library in her 1899 will. The Sophia G. Daland Trust has continued to support the library that bears her name for more than a century. The Daland Trust has also pledged significant financial support of the new library project and to continue to maintain the new library in the future as they have the current facility. The new library (see graphic) was designed in 2018 by Dewing Schmid Kearns Architects + Planners of Concord, MA and is expected to be built on town owned land on Grand Hill Road in Mont Vernon, NH.
The Mont Vernon Library Charitable Foundation was established as a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization in 2015 specifically to support this project.
