ALPENA -- Recently, the Northeast Michigan League of Women Voters held the annual Winter Membership Dinner at the Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan, catered by Blue Moon. Twenty members attended. Speakers were Jessica Luther and Autumn TenCate of the Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library.
Luther spoke on the theme of a library no longer being only about books. They offer a library of things, such as a telescope and sewing machines which can be checked out, unique programs, a seed library, and teaching reading, including learning English as a second language DVDs. Coming is an Book Mobile, which will offer services like wifi, obtaining library cards, along with books. TenCate is the new Children and Youth Director. She continued the discussion of how libraries now provide many services and items. Both took questions from the audience.
