Jim and Ann Milano, formerly of Monongalia County, have pledged $500,000 to benefit the Charles C. Wise, Jr. Library at West Virginia University.
The gift is two-fold: Half will be used to renovate the library’s East Reading Room. The remaining $250,000 will create the James V. and Ann Pozega Milano Reading Room and Collection Endowment Fund. The endowment will maintain and replace the furnishings in the room, which will be named for the Milanos, and support the acquisition and preservation of the Appalachian Collection, to be housed in the Milano Reading Room.
“We owe our beginnings to WVU. We made this gift because we wanted to give something back to the University,” said Jim Milano.

When Eleanor McDonald came to WVU 40 years ago, she was accompanying a cousin who was applying for a job. McDonald herself ended up working in Wise Library’s Cataloging Department and has never left.
