Founded by her family for the C. Burr Artz Library to purchase materials for loan to library patrons.

Mary A. “Mais” Quill was a graduate of Gallanger School of Nursing in Washington and worked as a registered nurse in Frederick for several years. She was a member of such local organizations as St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church and Frederick Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. She volunteered at the C. Burr Artz Library for 47 years. In honor of her love for the C. Burr Artz Library, Mrs. Quill’s children created The Mary A. “Mais” Quill Endowment Fund for the C. Burr Artz Library on the occasion of her 90th birthday in 2001. The Fund is used to purchase library materials to be loaned to patrons.
