Cody Conover Fund for Young Minds of the Columbus Metropolitan Library Foundation


Cody Conover, son of Dana and Debbie Conover, died in June 2007 at the age of 25. Cody was an avid reader and loved books. As a young child he enjoyed the pleasure that library books would bring, and on many occasions would not go to sleep until his mother had read every book to him that they had borrowed that day. Because of his love for books, the tribute paid to him through generous donations of family, friends and Elmer's products established the Cody Conover Fund for Young Minds of the Columbus Metropolitan Library Foundation. The income from this fund will be used for a great range of programs including: Ready to Read, Summer Reading Club, and Homework Help Centers.
