Friends of Rockland Public Library Katie Syrett Scholarship Fund
Congratulations, Gracie Stevens and Reese Novicka!
In the spring of 2025, the Friends of Rockland Public Library successfully inaugurated its Friends of Rockland Public Library Katie Syrett Scholarship Fund, created to recognize the role and contribution of the Rockland Library in the lives of local students. The scholarship, set up in recognition of a longstanding member of the Friends, was created to assist students of RSU 13 who plan to continue their education after high school graduation.
Friends of Rockland Public Library is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) charitable organization with the mission of providing direct financial support to the library via fundraising while increasing community awareness of library services and programs.
