Powers Memorial Library receives more than $2,000
PALMYRA, Wis. (April 11, 2016)—On April 8, nine
Standard Process Inc. employees presented Powers
Memorial Library Director Angela Zimmermann with
a $2,320 check. The donation will allow the library to
purchase 99 new books and other items. It was made
possible through the company’s charitable motivation
program, which encourages Standard Process
employees to become more involved on local, national
and global community levels.
“This was a fantastic opportunity for the library and
Standard Process to collaborate and increase awareness
about the resources that are available in our
community,” said Zimmermann. “It’s exciting to see
the employees from Standard Process visiting the
library, and I am definitely looking forward to working
with the company again.”
For every item checked out from the library during the
month of March, Standard Process pledged funds to purchase a new item. Ten Standard Process
employees checked out 14 DVDs, 43 children’s books and 42 adult books. Zimmermann has compiled a
list of new resources to purchase in April.
“What a great incentive to renew my library card,” said Dawn Giese, local Palmyra resident and Standard
Process employee. “It had been a couple of years since I used the library’s resources, and I’m glad that by
doing it now, I helped earn new books for the community.”
Earlier this year, Standard Process donated $500 to Powers Memorial Library for book purchases. This
occurred during the Scholastic Book Fair, held February 29 through March 8, at the Palmyra Elementary
School. Proceeds from the book fair were directed back to the elementary school.
“It’s all about creating win-win situations,” said Standard Process Senior Executive Assistant Angela
Villela.
