GRUPO DE LECTORES DEL VALLE DE FOX
El grupo se reune el jueves, 24 de junio, 29 de julio, y 26 de
agosto de 7 a 8:30 p.m. El grupo se fundó para fomentar la
costumbre de leer entre nuestra comunidad hispanoparlan-
te, para animar a más personas a participar en la superación

congustos similares. Para más información, comuníquese con

Algonquin resident Norman Raven was recently sworn in as
the Dundee Township Public Library District’s newest trustee.
Raven will also serve as treasurer and takes the place of Mary
White, who stepped down in February due to family reasons.
He will complete the term for this position, which ends in
April 2011.
Raven is retired from the medical supply industry, where he
held various financial and management positions. He served in the Air Force
ROTC for four years as an internal auditor, and has a B.S. degree in Business
Administration and Accounting from Washington University in St. Louis.
He said that a+ er a few years getting used to retirement, he decided it was time to
give back to the community. “I’m a # rm believer that your brain is no di; erent than
any other muscle. If you don’t use it, you lose it. I am looking forward to utilizing my
broad administrative background to serve as treasurer,” said Raven.
When sta; from the Information Services department take their place behind
the desk, one can only guess what the day will bring. " eir job is to help people
# nd information, and the topics are limitless. " ey have decided to take that daily
exposure and research and share the more titilating discoveries via a new blog called
“Reader’s Block.”
Located on the library’s website, (www.dundeelibrary.
info) the blog is updated daily and highlights cool stu;
around the library, the web, and the community.
Lists, links, comments, experiences, and reviews
are just a click away under categories such as “beer,”
“booklist,” “dating,” “deliciousness,” “it ain’t easy
being green,” “non-fiction,” “pop culture,” “self-help,”
and “what’s your dewey number.” Drill down further
with links like “Awful Library Books,” “BoingBoing:
A Directory of Wonderful Things,” “Cake Wrecks,”
and “National Public Radio.”
So go ahead. Log on to “Reader’s Block,” click on your “Add to Favorites” and
find out about stuff you didn’t even know you wanted to know about.
