Honesdale, PA – Jim Donnelly, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Wayne Bank, is pleased to announce that Wayne Bank has supported the Wyoming Free Library with a donation through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program.
Colleen Garrison, President, Wyoming Free Library Board of Trustees; and John Roberts, Director, Wyoming Free Library accepted a check in the amount of $4,000 from Wayne Bank CEO, Jim Donnelly.
The Wyoming Free Library offers many children programs. Wayne Bank was a proud sponsor of the Summer Reading Club. The participants of the Summer Reading Club were visited and read to by local children’s book authors and also learned fun STEM projects such as origami, making bird houses, building solar and battery-powered robots, and science spy crafts where they learned how to decode secret messages, work with invisible pens and use a periscope. Other programs offered by the Wyoming Free Library include a LEGO Club, Minecraft events, various Reading Clubs and craft programs, a Coding Club, and a Children’s Produce Market.
“As a financial institution, we recognize the importance of investing in our communities’ future. By supporting the Wyoming Free Library, we are not just contributing to an organization, but to the dreams, education, and imagination of the next generation. Our donation is a commitment to ensuring that every child has access to the resources they need to succeed and thrive,” stated Mr. Donnelly.
The gift was made possible as a result of the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program offered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting through the Department of Community and Economic Development.
The Wyoming Free Library provides quality materials and services which fulfill educational, informational, cultural and recreational needs for all the citizens of the community. They continuously develop programs in support of life-long education, beginning with literacy development programs for the very young, and enrichment programs for adults. The library works to expand the horizons of our citizens using information technology to provide them opportunities for personal and professional growth.
The Wyoming Free Library has been a source for information and learning since 1927. Located at 358 Wyoming Avenue, the library remains a proud fixture in the community, providing area residents with a wonderful opportunity to both expand their knowledge and broaden their education horizons.
