🎉 Congratulations to Cassandra Prasad, the Friends of the Orchard Park Public Library Scholarship Winner! 🎉

We are proud to recognize Cassandra, a graduating Orchard Park High School student, as this year’s scholarship recipient. This fall, she will begin an exciting new chapter at Brigham Young University (BYU)! 📚✨

Cassandra's essay beautifully captured the importance of libraries in our community. She wrote:

“The library is a conduit through which people can access ‘portals.’ Portals through time that teach lessons through history.”

She also reflected on the library’s role as a welcoming place for all:

“The library is also fully accessible. It’s a free institution that welcomes all people. It’s this accessibility that makes it an indispensable foundation of the Orchard Park community. The library brings the Orchard Park community together and is a place that transcends boundaries to create a safe place for everyone.”

Cassandra's thoughtful words remind us why libraries matter so deeply — as places of learning, connection, and belonging.

Please join us in congratulating Cassandra and wishing her the very best as she heads to BYU this fall! 👏🎓💙
