Meredith was instrumental in the opening of the fifth neighborhood library which took place on May 16, 1987 and served as its manager for 26 years until December 2013.

A memorial area will be dedicated at Haymarket Gainesville Community Library to honor Meredith’s many years of service to the Haymarket Gainesville community.
