Jill Clark Memorial Fund
Our dear colleague and friend, Jill Clark passed away in
January. As you may know, The Jill Clark Memorial Fund has
been established in her honor. The library staff and Board of
Directors are planning a Memorial Garden on the patio. In
Jill’s honor, we are seeking donations for the purchase of a
bench for the patio. Bonny Woomer, a friend of Jill’s, will be
designing and planting a small garden on the patio in memory
of Jill. Please help us in this endeavor to honor Jill Clark’s
contributions to the library and the Sewickley community by
making a contribution to the library in her name. You may call
