Suggested header: Library bequeathed donation from local benefactor
The La Grange Public Library, a member of the Neuse Regional Library System, was recently bequeathed a generous donation from the estate of Ret. CWO-5 Ernie Chris Mewborn, U.S. Army.
The donation was conveyed to the library by Mewborn’s sister, Carole M. McKeel of Goldsboro. Library staff fondly recalled Mewborn as an avid reader and a frequent visitor of the La Grange Public Library.
His gift will be used to replace public access Internet computers and purchase new books for the library. Plaques recognizing his generosity will be placed on the computers and in all books obtained with his support.
“We are always extremely touched to receive bequeathed donations,” Agnes W. Ho, director of libraries, said. “We have a very special relationship with our loyal patrons, and we are deeply grateful that Mr. Mewborn chose to brighten his community’s future by making a significant contribution to his local library. Mr. Mewborn will be greatly missed by the staff of the La Grange Public Library, but his legacy will live on through the computers and materials made possible by his donation.”
