 Personal Finance Center
Located in the Business/Science Department of the Central Library,
the Personal Finance Center is funded through a bequest from Dan
W. Davis.
Dan W. Davis, a frugal Memphis businessman, frequented the
Memphis Public Library for many years, visiting the Cossitt Branch,
the old Main Library on Peabody and then the new Benjamin L. Hooks
Central Library. Using library resources, he researched companies
and followed their financial progress, then made financial decisions
which resulted in significant returns on his investments.
Davis was very unassuming and lived modestly-despite the fact
that he amassed significant financial holdings. Given Dan Davis'
love of the financial resources in the library, the Foundation
for the Library chose to use his gift to underwrite a Personal
Finance Center for all those who want to better their financial
outlook. Now, library customers will be able to use the Center
to better manage their money and perhaps, like Davis, build their
net worth.
