Nearly a Year On, Miriam’s Library Opens Its Doors in Baltimore
Less than a year after over 4,000 donors helped Mendel Mintz secure a 14,000-square-foot building in memory of his wife, Mrs. Miriam (Fink) Mintz a”h, Miriam’s Library has begun after-school programming with over 50 children enrolled • Full Story
Less than a year after an extraordinary outpouring of support, Miriam’s Library, the project founded by Mendel Mintz in memory of his wife, Mrs. Miriam (Fink) Mintz a”h, has opened its doors in Pikesville, Maryland, welcoming children to its first after-school programs.
The campaign began last November with plans for a $2.3 million property. More than 1,700 people donated within the first six hours, and by its close over 4,000 donors had given more than $2 million. The organization closed on its building at 201 Milford Mill Road on the first day of Chanukah, and renovations began in June.
On Sunday, October 25, Miriam’s Library welcomed its first class, 15 girls at a Baking & Decorating session. The inaugural six-week season offers six hands-on activities: baking, guitar, mosaic art, merch making, hairstyling and braiding, and 3D printing and design, with more than 50 children registered. Singer Eli Marcus paid a surprise visit to the guitar class during opening week.
Miriam a”h, who passed away suddenly in 2024 at age 30, devoted nearly a decade to special education in Baltimore. The program gives children of different abilities a welcoming place to learn, create and grow, and is only the first phase of the vision for the 14,000-square-foot building.
