LUCY BOYLE MEMORIAL FUND

Daniel Island, SC - Tim Boyle, the highly regarded branch manager of the Daniel Island Library, has been the “go to” information resource specialist on a variety of subjects since the branch’s opening in 2007. When Tim’s thirteen year old daughter, Lucy, passed away suddenly on March 30, 2015, the customers of the Daniel Island Library and the staff of the Berkeley County Library all mourned for his loss. Mr. John Gilsenan, a long-time supporter of the library on the Island, other community residents and library staff advocated for the creation of a fitting memorial to honor Lucy Boyle, who loved the library and learning. What better way to honor Lucy than with a memorial collection of resources in the subjects Lucy loved, including math, science, computer coding, and other STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) related topics.

The funds raised through this campaign for Lucy will be used to purchase STEM materials  and will be housed in the Daniel Island Library and loaned out across the library system.
