"I give to Foundation for Baltimore County Public Library in honor of my son, Micah, because we go to the library weekly. Micah loves going to the library because he can learn about anything that he is curious about, he can play with the toys and computers, and he can meet and play with other children. He just discovered Magic School Bus books!"

"After spending over 30 years as a librarian at Baltimore County Public Library, I knew I wanted to continue my support of the Foundation even after my retirement. Not only do I deeply believe in the mission and importance of the library, but I’m still an active user! When it came time to do my estate planning, it was a no brainer to make the Foundation a beneficiary."
