The library system in Cecil County recently celebrated an important achievement. For the first time, the system circulated 1-million items. That is 10 items checked out for every single citizen in the county. To observe this major milestone, every library branch in the county celebrated with a range of special programs. One aspect involved Cecil Reads posters featuring staff, citizens, and community leaders.
Over the past ten years, I have had the opportunity to serve the system as a trustee and president of the library board as it has grown. It’s been a worthwhile community experience as we opened two new branches, increased staff to serve demands, added 21st century programming, and enhanced technology. As required by state law my term on the board will end in Nov. If you haven’t visited some of branches in Cecil County, please stop in when you’re in the area.
