The library of today is quite different from yesteryear. For example did you know you can rent a projector, a telescope or a Go-Pro camera? Did you know that the Longmont Library can offer you complimentary access to Ancestry.com? How about board games? Complimentary seeds from the Seed Library or passes to a local State Park?
These services and more were shared during the program on April 12th, presented by Librarian, Jenna Kopp and Circulation Services Manager, Julia Jacobs. Jenna gave us a virtual tour of the Longmont Library website and its many educational opportunities. Beyond renting a hardcover book, you can also download a book to your personal device for the rented period of time. Newspapers such as The New York Times and investment newspapers such as The Morning Star and Value Line are available. The library also creates curated book bags should you be planning a trip to Italy , for example. You can also “Book a Librarian” to ask questions or seek research tips on a project. There are the regular host of programming for children and adults along with special events like “Meet the Author”. These and more are available free at your library. It only takes registering for a library card at your local library.
I leave you with the full list of things shared by Jenna and Julia today….. Blue Ray projectors, Scanner and Fax machine access, rent a meeting room, Heritage- another genealogy software (which you can use from your home computer), radon detectors, tuxedos (yes, I said a tuxedo), Discovery passes. Learning a language and pronunciation tools.
The Library of today is sure to amaze and inspire our learning opportunities! Check out the Longmont Library, you won’t be disappointed.
Dan Gust reported that we have now raised over $30,000 for Ukraine Disaster Relief. Rotary’s motto of Service Above Self isn't just words. It’s how Rotary members take care of each other, and their communities. Our long standing relationship was fostered through the Open World study groups, comprised of Ukrainians who came to Longmont to learn about medicine, government, media and education. Due to this long-standing, close relationship, it has been particularly difficult to watch the destruction of their country and the murder of its citizens.
To support our friends, The Rotary clubs of Longmont (Longmont Rotary and Twin Peaks Rotary and the Young Rotarians), have raised over $30,000 to help with the refugee crisis in Ukraine and bordering countries. The money is directed through the Disaster Fund of The Rotary Foundation. If you would like to donate, Click Here
President's Message
Debby Paris
Hello All,
Thank you for granting me the opportunity to serve as the president of the Rotary club of Longmont for the 2021–2022 Rotary year.
The upcoming year will be one of continuing change as we start the process of returning to the “new normal“ of in-person meetings. The process is going to be a "crawl, walk, run" and I hope everyone will be patient.
The theme of this rotary year is "Serve to change lives". It will be wonderful to be able to come up with projects to follow this theme and continue to serve our community locally nationally and internationally.
While we will not be able to have in person RYLA again this year, there will be a one day virtual session. With school being in person, I am looking forward to the Young Rotarian‘s being able to start up again in the fall. Our youth are the future of rotary!
My goal this year is to grow our club by a few members and for everyone to think of younger people in the community who would make great Rotarians.
