Landon Statue Dedication ceremony @ Manatee Central Library

On April 23rd, the Manatee County Public Library System’s Library Foundation, Inc. held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the beautiful new statue gracing the north entrance of the Central Library. The Foundation recently purchased the statue (a life-sized bronze depicting two children reading on a log), as a memorial to long-time library supporter and Friend, Mildred “Millie” Landon who passed away in 2003.

 

The Library Foundation encourages support of the library in order to fund those services not available through traditional tax-base funding. Giving to the Library Foundation, Inc. helps the library achieve excellence and makes Manatee County a better place to live.

 

 

The Central Library is located at 1301 Barcarrota Boulevard in Bradenton. For additional information about the Library Foundation, please call the Central Library at 941-748-5555, extension 6306.
