Re: E. Straszko Donation
The Agawam Public Library will be very happy to accept the $4,000 bequest from
the estate of Esther Straszko.
We remember Mrs. Straszko as a teacher at the Danahy and Phelps Elementary
schools in town. We will use some of the funds to purchase materials for our
Children's library.
Mrs. Straszko was also a member of the Agawam Lioness Club and the Friends
of the Agawam Senior Center. Keeping that in mind, we will use some of the
money to purchase Large Print books and other materials for our visually
impaired library patrons including books on audio CD.
The library gratefully acknowledges receipt of donations with gift plates on all
items purchased with donated funds.
The library appreciates the generosity of Esther Straszko to include the Agawam
Public Library in her estate plans.
Acceptance of this bequest must be approved by the City Council. I highly
recommend that the City Council accept this generous gift for the benefit of the
library and the people of Agawam.
Thank you.
