Braskem’s donation supports the branch’s efforts to upgrade the
library, beginning with the purchase of a new main reception desk
and counter area for the library’s staff to service visitors and a
new flat screen monitor, multiple computers, and a computer desk
that will support STEM education for children.
“As a long-standing community partner of Marcus Hook, we are
honored to be a resource to the Mary M. Campbell Marcus Hook Public
Library,” said Daryl Leggett, Marcus Hook Plant Manager. “Our
mission is to collaborate with local communities for a better and
increasingly inclusive and welcoming society, ensuring equitable
opportunities for all.”
Since 2010, Braskem has operated a polypropylene manufacturing
facility in Marcus Hook that employs more than 100 team members.
The local Braskem team has a strong presence in Marcus Hook and the
greater Philadelphia communities through its engagement with local
youth offerings in science, technology, engineering, and math
(STEM) education opportunities and diversity, equity, and inclusion
initiatives. This includes the facilitation of several local Marcus
Hook projects that closely align with the company’s sustainability
goals, including properly disposing of waste and the circular use
of plastics. Last year, the company funded a community drop-off
recycling center, an initiative that granted the borough’s ~2,400
residents with direct access to recycling to help eliminate waste
that would otherwise be routed to landfills and other traditional
waste processing streams. In 2021, Braskem donated durable benches
and tables made from 100% recycled plastic to local non-profits and
other organizations and has organized a variety of cleanup
efforts.
"Generosity is the key that opens the doors of knowledge. With
heartfelt thanks for Braskem’s generous donation, you've helped us
continue our mission to provide equal opportunities for all,” said
Tianjia Wang, Director of Mary M. Campbell Marcus Hook Library.
“Together, we empower minds, inspire creativity, and build a
community bound by the love of learning, ensuring that every
individual has an equal chance to explore the pages of our
library's story."
