Templeton Library

​Templeton Library is dedicated to Margaret Anderson Radunich, an early donor. Over the years she supported Templeton Community Library Association with gifts to our building fund.

​

In 2018, after she passed away, we received her final bequest, which enabled us to build the library. Her legacy gifts total over $1 million.  

Templeton resident George R. Hearst, Jr., supported the library with an early donation of $100,000. Later, his son donated his New York Hearst Corp board room chair, which he used for over thirty years.

Elizabeth Nelson left Templeton Library over $400,000 in her will. In this picture, she receives her Templeton Library card in January 2022 at age 107.
