The Spartanburg County Public Libraries received a $15,000 gift from the estate of Frank J. Hanus, III. A native of New York, Mr. Hanus was the CEO of the family’s Spartanburg based InsulFab Plastics. In 1997, Mr. Hanus gave an original Al Hirschfeld painting of James F. Byrnes which was used as the cover for the March 1, 1946 edition of “The American Mercury.” Mr. Hanus’ financial gift will become a part of the Library Endowment and used for Local History.

A gift to the Friends of the Libraries’ Endowment is an investment in Library programs, facilities, collections and staff. If you are interested in estate planning, contact Todd Stephens at todds@infodepot.org.

The mission of the Spartanburg County Public Libraries is to inspire people to pursue lifelong learning for a thriving Spartanburg County.
