Friday, April 26th is proclaimed Angel Tello Day at the WJ Niederkorn Library!

Angel Tello has been providing wonderful free food for the Niederkorn Library’s Friday Night After Hours Movie events for about a year now. Not surprisingly it has been a big hit!

Angel has been a leader in giving back to the community. “I thought (the free food and movie event was) really helpful,” Tello said.  “I believe, always, in giving something back to the community — it’s the right thing.” (October 2012 article).

Special Day Honors Angel Tello for Library Donations (April 22, 2013 article from proclamation ceremony)

The next Friday Night After Hours Movie will be held on Angel Tello Day, April 26th. The movie is Les Miserables and will show at 7:00 pm. Come to help celebrate and see a great movie!

Permanent recognition of Angel’s genorosity has been added to the plaque located in the upper entryway. The plaque reads, “In grateful recognition of your generous support of the W. J. Niederkorn Library”. Take a look next time you come to the library!
