Library accepts donation from Waterford Preservation Trust, plans plaque honoring Kate Piper

The Davis Memorial Library board announced a donation from the dissolved Waterford Preservation Trust and discussed how to recognize the gift. "I just handed over the check to Mary Jo, our treasurer, and we got a donation from Waterford Preservation Trust," a Committee member said, noting the trust had voted to dissolve and direct remaining funds to the library.

Board members considered options for a lasting tribute to the trust's founder, Kate Piper, including a single plaque that could be expanded with new names over time to avoid multiple large displays. "It would be very appropriate on the church, and the donation was significant enough to have something here too, perhaps in the children's wing," a Committee member said. Members agreed to research costs and possible vendors and to revisit placement and design at a future meeting.
