Lydia Mackey and the Spirit of Giving
Lydia Mackey is a 9 year old resident of Haddonfield. Lydia wanted to help the library. For her ninth birthday in August, she asked her friends and neighbors to donate to the library instead of giving her gifts. Lydia raised $345 Suzanne and Scott Mackey, Lydia's parents, agreed that the funds could be placed in the fund recently set up with the Haddonfield Foundation to save for a better, larger library.
Lydia is an example of what is best in the community at the holidays. She wanted to help her local library and community. She gave generously so that others could enjoy the benefits of the community library. Said Mrs. Mackey, " The Library is such an important part of the community. We've learned not to take things for granted. We like to help out organizations and help institutions that are free in this community." Lydia nodded her agreement.
