Monson Savings Bank Provides a $1,000 Donation to Link to Libraries
Dan Moriarty, Monson Savings Bank President and CEO, presented Laurie Flynn, President and CEO of Link to Libraries, with a $1,000 donation as a part of the Bank’s Community Giving Initiative.
Back in July, Monson Savings Bank President and CEO Dan Moriarty met with Laurie Flynn, Link to Libraries President and CEO, to present her with a $1,000 donation. This donation was made as a part of the 2023 Monson Savings Bank Community Giving Initiative, where the community was given the opportunity to submit their votes asking the Bank to support their favorite local charitable organizations.
“Monson Savings Bank has a proud history of supporting literacy in our communities,” said Moriarty. “Link to Libraries gives our local youth the valuable gift of reading. They provide so many children in our communities with access to books. Because of Link to Libraries efforts, literacy and language skills of our local youth are positively impacted and they are better able to find success in their educational and life journeys.”
Link to Libraries is a Hampden, Massachusetts based, 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to distribute new books to the school and home libraries of children in need. By increasing a child's access to books, Link to Libraries strives to enhance language and literacy skills. Since Link to Libraries’ inception in 2008, the organization has put over 500,000 new books into the hands of children, the vast majority of whom never previously owned a book.

Monson Savings is an excellent community partner, not only to our organization, but also to many others throughout the local area,” said Laurie Flynn, President and CEO of Link to Libraries. “Thank you to everyone who voted for Link to Libraries in Monson Savings’ Community Giving Initiative.
