Gram’s Children’s Fund

This fund was started 2009 by the Behm family grandchildren in memory of Betty Behm.  Donations to this fund go to Friends of the Library to support and encourage children and families to read, learn and expand their worlds. The fund also supports programming that reflects Mrs. Behm’s wide-ranging interests such as travel, reading, women in business and local history.

Gram’s Fund is a great way to honor all grandmothers for the love and guidance they provide. Please consider a donation in honor of your mother or grandmother for Mother’s Day, a special Birthday or other event. Checks should be made to Friends of Madison Public Library with Gram’s Fund designated in the memo. Please talk with us if there is a special way you would like us to honor your grandmother with the donation.

Betty Behm was a 25 year member and former president of the Madison Public Library Board, and was instrumental in starting the Friends of Madison Public Library.  The Behm Family has been involved with Madison Public Library since its founding and continues to actively support a vibrant Library in the Madison Community.
