JEFFERSON — John Buza unknowingly has saved the Henderson Memorial Public Library from what could be its darkest hour.
Buza, a Jefferson resident who died in 2006, gave a the library a restricted bequest of about $173,000, and directed that his gift be used to increase library patrons’ access to science and technology information, said Kathleen Jozwiak, library director, in a press release.
A second, and much larger, gift of $400,000 from Buza was received in late spring this year. The library board was stunned to learn of this second additional generous gift. The gift, according to legal counsel, is not restricted in its use by the library. Combined, this gift is the largest gift from an individual in Henderson Library history, according to Jozwiak.
In light of Ohio’s current public library funding crisis, the board voted to designate $50,000 of the second bequest for use during the remainder of 2009 to help with operating expenses. The remainder of the $400,000 will be invested for necessary future capital expenses to maintain the library’s building. It is hoped that, in conjunction with the operating levy, fines, fees and other donations, the library will be able to survive devastating cuts from the state, according to the press release.
