Recipients of the 2004 Daniel W. Casey Library Advocacy Award
Since 1972, when the Friends was founded, its members have worked hard to help establish the place of the library in the Macedon community. For over 30 years, the goal of the Friends has been to assist the library in realizing its potential to become a needs-responsive and user-friendly facility, a hub of community activity. The work has been its own reward, although other rewards have also come our way. Each year at the New York Library Association Conference and Trade Show, the NYLA Empire Friends of New York State Roundtable (EFR) honors a library volunteer or a group of volunteers who have significantly contributed to the growth of a library or a Friends organization. In October 2004, NYLA presented the Daniel W. Casey Library Advocacy Award to the Friends of the Macedon Public Library, CRMPL, and the Bullis Books Committee. This recognition of our work was very gratifying, and has spurred us on to new challenges - such as the establishment of the endowment.
Friends of the Macedon Public Library Bill Moore and Abbe Harbol accepted the award along with library staff member June Hamell.
