Throughout her career, Mary Frances Cooper, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s 11th President and Director, has made significant contributions to advance the core values of librarianship locally and nationally. In recognition of her outstanding work to further the mission and vision of our Library and her commitment to providing inclusive and equitable library services for our whole community, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s Board of Trustees has created the Future Library Leaders Fund in her honor.

 We invite you to join us in recognizing Mary Frances on the occasion of her retirement by contributing to the Future Library Leaders Fund, a restricted fund that will create a pathway into library service for talented individuals from diverse backgrounds.
