Miss Kuenstler bestowed an everlasting legacy gift to the library for the purchase of reading materials. Please join us in celebrating Miss Kuenstler’s life and love of literacy and the library. Reading materials purchased with the proceeds from the Helen R. Kuenstler Trust can be idenified by a book plate designed in her honor near the front of the book.

You are welcome to contribute on behalf of yourself or another. Donations help fund materials purchases, technology upgrades, and more smrld.org/support-the-library/
