Kanawha County Public Library Receives $46,000 Gift
WEST VIRGINIA....
Through the will of Charlene Byrd, the Kanawha County Public Library has received a $46,000 gift directed to go toward building a new main facility. It will apply toward the John L. Ray challenge grant. Byrd, who died in March of 2009, had served on the library board since 1998. The gift is 40 percent of a gift left to the library and the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation and Morgan State University. Byrd, a former Kanawha County teacher and school administrator, joined the school system in 1965 and worked in various positions before retiring in 1998 as associate superintendent for cultural diversity and communications.
