Katherine's Tree

Home Operations Endowment Katherine's Tree Associates Special Events Author Gala

 

Katherine's Tree is a ten foot high "donor tree" located at the Headquarters Library in downtown Gainesville.

The Tree is an etched-glass rendition of the Tree of Knowledge surrounded by an impressive oak frame and base.

Each leaf on Katherine's Tree represents an endowment gift of $2,000 or more.  A leaf often commemorates birthdays, anniversaries or other special occasions.

Katherine's Tree is named for Katherine Ann Tubb (1976 - 1991), a young woman who, during her brief life, was an avid reader and library user.  Katherine Ann Tubb was the daughter of Gainesville residents, George and Marilyn Tubb.

Recent gifts to Katherine's Tree were made in honor of JoAnne Engwall (now deceased) and Susan Parks by Friends of the Library.  A leaf was given in honor of Bob Engwall by his adult children to be placed next to the leaf honoring his wife JoAnne.  John Hendrix contributed a leaf in memory of his mother, Martha Ellis Hendrix.  The Kosman Foundation  honored Guy Hudspeth (Archer Library Branch Manager), Memree Stuart (Hawthorne Library Branch Manager) and, most recently, Martha Roberts (High Springs Library Branch Manager) with leaves on Katherine's Tree.
