The Frampton Family
The donors chose to offer this generous gift match challenge in honor of their mother, Margaret Frampton, and her lifelong interest in extending the outreach of the Library’s resources and programs.
Margaret was a librarian at the University of Illinois Library and participated in a nationwide network that assigned official Dewey Decimal Classification system numbers to new books before they were added to the library's card catalog. The Urbana Free Library was near and dear to Margaret's heart, where she served on the Board and volunteered for many projects that helped grow the Library's resources and expand its building.
