The gift was made in honor of Nelle Thompson Weir, a beloved aunt of the Stouts and the first librarian at the Bentleyville Public Library. Nelle Weir served as head librarian at the library for over 35 years.

The Bentworth Community Center is the name of the building that houses the Bentleyville Public Library, the Bentworth Senior Center, and the Bentleyville Area Historical Society. The building is owned by the library and serves residents of Bentleyville, Cokeburg, and Ellsworth boroughs and North Bethlehem and Somerset townships.

The Bentworth Community Center Building Project is a comprehensive plan to renovate and enlarge the community center building to better meet the needs of the library, senior center, and historical society and to better meet the needs of the community.
