Library Friends Accept $4,000 software donation from former san juan island resident

The friends of the san juan island library today accepted a generous software donation from Kristina Marx, a former San Juan islander and employee of Cogent Data Technologies, now a resident of Clearview, Washington and employee of Microsoft.

The donation, with a total retail value of $4,000, includes operating system and productivity software that will enhance the functionality of the library's patron workstations over the coming year. As an added bonus, the gift comes with a matching cash donation of $400 from Microsoft.

Says Liz Illg, President of the Friends, "Kristina was a frequent library user while a resident here, and it feels wonderful for us to be so kindly remembered."
