Haskins Family Scholarship
The David A. Howe Public library is proud to present the Haskins Family Scholarship, an annual scholarship of $1000 awarded to a high school senior currently working in libraries or pursuing further education in library science or related fields. Libraries are a central part of the communities they serve, and this scholarship recognizes the importance of library work and sharing the love of libraries with youth. The scholarship recipient is a student who exhibits the core library values of access, equity, intellectual freedom, public good and sustainability, and who embodies a love of literature and learning for all.
Applicants should email a 500-word essay to wellsville@stls.org answering the following question: “How have libraries impacted your life so far, and how do you plan to apply what you’ve learned from libraries to your education and work in the future?” Please also include a brief sentence outlining your current plans for further education. Applications are due by midnight on May 20. Applicants must live in the Wellsville school district. Entries created with generative AI are not permitted.

Every Friday from 3-4:30 middle and high school ages are welcome to join us upstairs in the loft to relax, hang out with friends, and play board games.
