Editor’s Corner
Ryan Whelpley, Branch Manager for
the Geneva Library and I recently talked
about expanding our coordination.
We talked about many things like the
50th anniversary of the moon landing
program they will have this summer.
He talked about providing activities for
seniors at the Library and our Center.
The synergy of the old and young
synchronizes the present and future.
We’ll ask for your input soon.
Let the lamb win in March and April.
