Janice McCoy Memorial Collection for Youth

A native of Virginia, Janice McCoy valued books and reading. Her appreciation for the printed word was shared with members of her family and with visitors to the Geddy House, where Janice served as an interpreter and teacher, until her untimely death in 1996. The Janice McCoy Collection combines her love of literature with her delight in all children. A list of the books in the collection can be found on the online catalog through “Advance Search” on “Location”.

The collection reflects the focus of the research library via materials presented in a format suitable for young people, pre-school through middle-school. Individuals who contribute $25 or more may sponsor a book and also honor a particular child.
