Michael Skidmore, President of Citizen State Bank presented a check of $8,700 to Robin Flory, Ottawa Library Director and Bill Schleiter, Library Board President. Skidmore is representing the Goppert Foundation which recently granted the library money to create a Young Adult Center for teens. This will provide a place to nourish and foster teen involvement in the library. Furniture will be added to create a space to study and work on laptops.
Micheal Skidmore said,”This is really special to be able to deliver this grant money here because my father was an architect and he designed this original building when it was the Franklin Savings and Loan”. The Goppert Foundation was formed nearly 50 years ago to meet the needs of communities served by Goppert-owned banks in Kansas and Missouri.
The American Eagle Outfitters Foundation also awarded a $2500 grant to help in the creation of the center for teens. The AE Foundation awards organizations that enrich the lives of youth in communities where an AE company is located.
