The Robinson Family Foundation Book Donation
Myron F. Robinson
The public is invited to a dedication event to celebrate the generous book donation in honor of Myron F. Robinson.
Date: Wednesday, August 14, 2024
Time: 12:30 p.m.
Location: Community Room B, Lakewood Ranch Library,
16410 Rangeland Parkway, Lakewood Ranch, FL 34211
Each donated volume features a bookplate that honors Myron F. Robinson, a
lifelong library supporter and a key advocate for bringing a library to
East Manatee County. Lakewood Ranch Library branch manager Tiffany
Mautino curated the collection, which includes African American fiction
and non-fiction books focused on culture, pertinent issues, and related
topics. The collection features prominent African American authors
across genres, and includes children’s literature, large print, and
multicultural/bilingual editions.
The
Aug. 14 dedication ceremony is open to the public. It aims to celebrate
the donation and highlight the importance of supporting local
libraries.
Want to donate books to the Friends' Book Nook?
The Friends currently accept gently used hardcover adult and YA fiction books published within the past five years, as well as children's books and puzzles. We don't have storage space at the library so please read our procedures here.
