Sometimes we forget what a plethora of knowledge and insights may be found at any Rotary gathering. Recently Matt Joynt enlightened us about all the great things happening in Mequon-Thiensville Schools. Ellen MacFarlane shared stories of the impact Rotary makes in Guatemala. Jenne Hohn, Sandy Custer, and Kathleen Schneider keep us up to date on the progress toward the Rotary All-User Playground.
Now we have our own Nancy Witte-Dycus sharing her wisdom about gardening and tips on how we can celebrate Earth Day. Join us April 21, for a program sure to feel like spring.
In commemoration of National Library Week, we would love for you to join us for a free screening of the award-winning PBS documentary The Librarians on Wednesday, April 23 at Inventor’s Brewpub in Port Washington. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and the film will begin at 6:30 p.m. This event is sponsored by the five Ozaukee County public libraries.
The Librarians is a compelling documentary that follows librarians across the country as they are confronted by rising efforts to remove books from library shelves. Set against the backdrop of unprecedented censorship in states such as Texas and Florida, the film highlights the important role libraries and library professionals play in protecting intellectual freedom and ensuring access to information.
Following the screening, there will be a brief discussion panel featuring local librarians who will reflect on the themes of the film and share perspectives from our own communities.
We hope you will join us for this timely and engaging evening of film and conversation. Please feel free to share this invitation with others who may be interested.
For more information, contact Rachel Muchin Young, rmuchinyoung@flwlib.org, or (262) 242-2590.
