Program: This week's program was presented by Library Director Annette Dean. September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and Anette shared many great free tools and resources that patrons can use their library card to access in addition to books. If it's been a while since you have used your library card, one of the librarians can help make sure it is active. Annette also shared highlights of the many programs, book clubs, kids programs, and other events going on at the library this fall.

New Fun & Frolic Format - We have decided to try something new for Fun and Frolic time during our weekly meetings. Fun and Frolic will now be The Rotary Minute.  This time will be for the assigned Rotarian to share a fun fact about Rotary. This can be about anything you find interesting - something historical, news from Rotary International, information from the monthly Rotary Magazine, etc. Some good resources include Rotary.org, Rotary's social media pages, your monthly magazine, our club and district websites and social media, as well as other club and district websites.
