Bedford Library's Ann Cloonan Receives DAR Award

The Polly Cooper Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution was thrilled to recognize Ann Cloonan as the recipient of the DAR Medal of Appreciation, presented today by our Vice Regent, Judy Carey. This honor acknowledges Ann's outstanding support of our chapter and the missions of the DAR over the years.
From setting up engaging book displays for Constitution Week to championing our chapter book club, Ann has been a tireless advocate for our initiatives. In her role at the Bedford Free Library, Ann particularly supported the DAR initiatives of Literacy Promotion, Education, and Library Outreach.
Ann’s generosity, dedication, and friendship have made a lasting impact on our chapter. We are so grateful for her contributions and delighted to honor her with this well-deserved recognition!
