Porter Memorial Library in Machias is the recipient of a $15,000 grant from the Davis Family Foundation. The funds will be used to repair damage around the reading room chimney. 

“We are so grateful to the Davis Family Foundation for assisting us in this repair to one of Machias’ most beautiful and historic structures,” said board president Sarah Craighead Dedmon. “Taking good care of this building enables Porter Memorial Library to continue its vital economic and cultural work in Machias, as it has done since 1893.”
