The Patti J. Nelson Foundation honors the life and legacy of Patti Nelson by supporting the Evans City Public Library. The Evans City Public Library acts as a cornerstone in our local community and is a resource for those in Callery, Evans City Borough, Forward Township and more. In addition to typical library activities, the library offers reliable high-speed internet, story hours, community events, workshops, a place to gather and so much more. Governmental agencies provide operating costs for only half the year. The Patti J. Nelson Foundation, in addition to donations and fundraising events, helps allow the library to keep its doors open year-round.
