Cash Found in Library Cards (True Story)

Based on true events from the early 1990s at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland. Names and specific details have been omitted to preserve anonymity.

In the early 1990s, a remarkable and heartwarming story unfolded at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland.

It involved a kind-hearted benefactor, known only as the "Library Angel," who quietly inspired a community.

The "Library Angel" would visit the library's ancient card catalog (back when libraries used such systems before digital catalogs) and hide money in random card slots.

These weren’t just any cards—she targeted specific topics like literature, civil rights, or poverty.

Patrons who happened upon these cards while researching topics close to their hearts would find crisp $20 bills tucked inside, sometimes accompanied by a simple note encouraging them to pursue their studies and dreams.

This mysterious benefactor was never identified, despite the best efforts of both librarians and patrons.

The Library Angel's random acts of kindness sparked joy and hope within the community, reminding people that acts of generosity can happen in the most unexpected places and often when needed most.

The story of the Library Angel shows us that even small, anonymous gestures can deeply touch lives and inspire a ripple effect of kindness in a community.
