Esther D. Robinson taught her family the joy of reading and importance of the power of libraries as she herself was an avid reader and literacy advocate. Esther’s legacy is a family of readers who sought to provide an opportunity - through the creation of the first memorial tree of its kind at AACPL - for others to support the library Esther treasured and, be able to add their loved one’s name to a leaf as a reminder of the importance of literacy and learning to a well-lived life.
You are invited to preserve the cherished legacy of a loved one on the Esther D. Robinson Memorial Tree at the Eastport-Annapolis Neck branch.*
Make your gift today. There are a limited number of leaves available to recognize your loved one.
Your $250 donation ensures that a 4.1" x 2.2" leaf is inscribed with two lines:
- Line one: up to 21 (1/4”) characters/spaces (loved one’s name).
- Line two: 9 (1/4”) characters (life dates).
- Only 21 available.
Your $500 donation ensures that a 5.8" x 3.3" leaf is inscribed with three lines:
- Line one: up to 21 (1/2”) characters/spaces (loved one’s name).
- Line two: 9 (3/8”) characters (life dates).
- Line three: up to 43 (1/2”) characters/spaces (additional description).

Please fill out the form below and we will be back in touch with you to ensure your leaf inscription is exactly how you intend it to be and also fits the parameters of the size of the leaf. Edits may be necessary, and we will work with you the best we can.
A note on timing: For donations received after June 2024, leaves will be placed on the memorial tree on or around November 2024.
