Montco couple's gift transforms library. (Philadelphia Inquirer, 5/21/2012)
Excerpt: Founded in the 1930s in memory of a local Quaker farmer known never to miss a Sunday meeting, the William Jeanes Memorial Library was not wearing its age well when the Karabots proffered a portion of their fortune.
With their $4.4 million gift two years ago, the couple assured the rebirth of the library as a cutting-edge atheneum, fashioned from the dilapidated shell of its former self.
