Good news for the new Pocomoke Library

The Worcester County Library Foundation has exciting news to share. The Philip A. Zaffere Foundation is providing a matching grant up to $50,000 to help fund the Children’s Porch at the new Pocomoke Library. We are incredibly grateful to the Zaffere Foundation for their generosity. With the new library set to open in late Spring 2026, this opportunity will allow your donations to go twice as far.

The Children’s Porch will be used for dynamic, engaging outdoor learning activities like story times, music events, art programs, and a space for children and families to read and play.

We are very fortunate that this matching grant came during this critical phase of the building project. Every contribution will help make the new library a special place that will be enjoyed by the Pocomoke community for generations to come.

(Notes:)

Phillip A. Zaffere Foundation Inc is a private foundation located in Towson, Md.

Funding for the Children's Porch had failed to get approval from the Worcester County Commissioners.  See Bayside Gazette Nov 13 article (page 21):
