The Joy of Giving Back

Terry Teich grew up in Duluth. As a child, she fell in love with books. As a student, and later as a teacher and adult, she regularly visited the library, making use of the books, services, and programs.

Terry was the first person to become a member of the Legacy Circle, indicating her plan to leave a gift for the Duluth Library Foundation in her will.

“For me, having volunteered for the library since the 1980s, contributing to the Foundation felt like a logical step—to give back. Now in retirement and considering my options, the Legacy Circle allows me to notify the Foundation of my pending gift, which will help perpetuate continued library service to our community.”

She added, “Libraries enrich our community.”

We are grateful to Terry for her support of the library she loves. We encourage you to become part of the Legacy Circle by letting us know that you plan to leave a gift for the Duluth Library Foundation in your will.
