POMFRET — The Putnam Rotary Club is using a grant from the Rotary District 7890 to help the Pomfret Public Library enhance the library’s collection of teen book titles.
Besides $4,500 in monetary support, the club and library will hold a Teen Focus Group to give local students the opportunity to choose what book titles they’d like. Members of the Putnam Rotary Interact Club will also take part.
Through this grant and partnership, the Putnam Rotary Club hopes to encourage young people to embrace a lifetime of reading and learning by exposing them to various forms of writing, subjects and authors.  Rotarians Karen Osbrey and Marc Archambault are working on this project and look forward to book delivery day in early spring 2022.
“This partnership with Putnam Rotary Club comes at an excellent time!” said Laurie Bell, director of Pomfret Public Library. “We plan to add on to the Pomfret Public Library soon and will be making upgrades to our Teen section. Thanks to this grant, our collection will now be as up-to-date as our space!” The library welcomes input from teens, parents, and educators regarding the teen collection, space, and future programming. More information about the Teen Focus Group and how you can take part is available at pomfretlibrary.org.
