The Library Foundation pursues this purpose by seeking philanthropic support, providing conscientious stewardship of the assets in its care, encouraging appropriate community partnerships, advocating on behalf of the library’s mission and continuing to help our community be the best place to live, work, learn and play. The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library is the sole beneficiary of funds raised by The Library Foundation. The Library Foundation 1515 SW 10th Avenue Topeka, KS 66604-1374 (785) 580-4498 foundation.tscpl.org Dear Friends, The Library Foundation’s 2017 Annual Report is bound to peek your curiosity when you read about how your gifts have made a difference at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library. We have amazing stories to share. Together we are helping the library fulfill its new mission of “sparking curiosity and connecting our community through literacy and learning.” As a foundation, we are committed to providing the funds needed beyond what tax dollars can do for our library. The funds will help accomplish the library’s most important community impact goal Every child will be ready for kindergarten. One of the best examples of fulfilling this goal is our incredible support for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. We received donations by individuals made at Topeka Gives and through our direct mail campaign. Grants have been given by Security Benefit, Capitol Federal Foundation, US Bank, St. Francis Health Foundation, Cox Charities, Topeka Community Foundation and the Friends of the Library. We received gifts from a number of organizations and events including the local chapter of The Topeka Council of the International Reading Association, the Topeka Chapter of Links and the trivia event with FHLBank. All of these gifts will help us sustain Imagination Library for several years to come. When you review our donor list you will see a number of gifts made in someone’s honor or memory. The family of Helen Jensen asked us to use the gifts made in her memory for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Helen was a retired first grade teacher who continued to volunteer in the schools. Helen's love of children and reading will live Helen Jensen on through her memorial gifts. We are thrilled for the $1 million gift of Dr. Glenn Swogger for the expansion of the Millennium Café. Construction of Claire’s Courtyard begins this summer. A commemorative brick project in the Courtyard is planned and will be announced this spring. Dr. Glenn Swogger The new team rooms in the reference area of the library are fulfilling a need for small group meetings. We thank Warren Taylor for becoming the first to provide a contribution to name one of the rooms. If you would like to name a team room in someone’s honor or memory, please contact the foundation office. Warren Taylor We are so proud of what your gifts have helped accomplish.

Designed and built in-house by our staff of engineers, this robotic “Drum Machine,” called the Gluing Gantry, ensures that every Evans head has a true collar. A series of vacuum fixtures holds the film in place for each head while the robotic gluing arm circles above the hoop and dispenses epoxy. The result is a drumhead that tunes both easily and consistently. At Evans, we do it right the first time. And every time. Check out what Peter Erskine has to say about Evans drumheads at www.evansdrumheads.com PO Box 290 • Farmingdale, NY 11735 We’ve been making the world’s finest sticks for years. And experience tells us that there are no shortcuts when it comes to making a stick. There is, however a very good short- cut when choosing one. The journey from wooden dowel to finished drumstick is a tough one. Each stick makes its way through the hands of several craftsmen before it leaves us. And at every test, there’s always the chance of getting turned into firewood. But it does get easier when our sticks reach the store. Because once you feel a pair in your hands, you’ll appreciate the time it spent in ours.

  • Wind Powering America FY06 Activities Summary
    Wind Powering America FY06 Activities Summary Dear Wind Powering America Colleague, We are pleased to present the Wind Powering America FY06 Activities Summary, which reflects the accomplishments of our state wind working groups, our programs at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and our partner organizations. The national WPA team remains a leading force for moving wind energy forward in the United States. At the beginning of FY07 (October 2006), there were 11,078 megawatts (MW) of wind power installed across the United States, with an additional 3,000 MW projected in both 2007 and 2008. When our partnership was launched in 2000, there were 2,500 MW of installed wind capacity in the United States. In 1999, only four states had more than 100 MW of installed wind capacity. Sixteen states now have more than 100 MW installed. We anticipate five to six additional states will join the 100-MW club in 2007, and by the end of the decade, more than 30 states will have passed the 100-MW milestone. WPA celebrates the 100-MW milestones because the first 100 megawatts are always the hardest and lead to significant experience, recognition of the wind energy’s benefits, and expansion of the vision of a more economically and environmentally secure and sustainable future. WPA continues to work with its national, regional, and state partners to communicate the opportunities and benefits of wind energy to a diverse set of stakeholders. WPA now has 29 state wind working groups (welcoming New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri in 2006) that form strategic alliances to communicate wind’s benefits to the state stakeholders.
