Library Back Running at Full Steam

 

Round Lake Library Director Jennifer Hurd was last week's speaker, telling us how the library got through the Covid pandemic and is returning to normal with programs. It was founded in 1897 in the Village of Round Lake, where it remains in place at the Clark House on Wesley Avenue. It opened a second branch in 2009 at the Malta Community Center on Bayberry Drive.

Jennifer has worked for the library since 2008, and has been its director since 2013. Current plans include expansion of the museum pass program. Graphic novels are popular among young adults now, she said, and "We have gone almost fine free."

This Thursday we will have a business meeting. Next week's speaker will be Linda LeTendre, a Burnt Hills Rotarian, who spoke to our club in 2020 about Seeds for Peace. This time she will speak about sustainable agriculture in East Africa.
