Dinah Harris, Director of the Jackson Madison County Public Library was our speaker on Wednesday. Our library averages over 16,000 visits per month, and for fiscal year 24/25, the library hosted 1,100 programs and had a circulation of over 459,000. Due to the continued growth and use of the facilities, there are plans for expansion and renovation, and the process is in the design development stage.

We look forward to seeing everyone this Wednesday (TODAY!) for another great Rotary program.
Our speaker this week will be Dinah Harris with the Jackson-Madison County Public Library. Dinah will provide an update on what is happening with our local library system and will primarily focus on the exciting future plans for the downtown library expansion.
This promises to be an informative program about one of our community’s most important educational and cultural resources, and how the library plans to continue serving and growing with Jackson in the years ahead.
We hope you will join us for this important community conversation!
See you Wednesday,
Chris

We were inspired by fellow Rotarian Melissa Spurgeon, CEO of Community Foundation of West Tennessee, who shared her insights on the powerful impact of community foundations in driving positive change locally and across West Tennessee. Sabrina Anderson presented two awards we won at District Conference- Youth Services for our commitment to the Junior Rotarian Scholarship Program and RYLA, and a Service Award for our Heart & Sole Service Project with the Old Hickory Club.
