ByWater Solutions Announces May 2024 Community Giveback Winner

Each month, ByWater Solutions selects one library to be awarded $500. These funds are meant to support libraries and their communities and fill gaps in funding to further library goals.

We are excited to announce our May 2024 winner of the ByWater Community Giveback, the West Warwick Public Library in Rhode Island! The library is a member of the Ocean State Libraries consortium.

The funds will be used to support the purchase of an up-to-date AED machine for the library,

Colin McCullough, Library Director at the West Warwick Public Library commented:

An AED would improve the survival survival odds of any library patron suffering a sudden cardiac arrest, since it could be deployed by library staff before emergency medical service personnel arrive. While it is hoped it is not a piece of equipment that we would ever be called upon to use, its availability within the library would make an potentially enormous contribution to the safety of our patrons."
