The Mark Twain Library Association was founded by the legendary author himself shortly after he moved to Redding near the end of his life in 1908.
"It is through this generosity and our sponsors that we can work towards the Library’s mission to honor Mark Twain’s vision of this library as a center for intellectual, educational, social and cultural enrichment," the library said in the statement.
Founded in 1988, Melissa and Doug creates and distributes educational and classic toys from its headquarters in Wilton.
