Three Firsts

At our first evening meeting under our new schedule, we made the first donation to the Chesapeake Library Foundation's new capital campaign.  President Jim Chellew presented Library Director Betsy Fowler with a $1,000 check to  kickoff the Foundation's drive to raise $250,000 to renovate the children's areas in all seven of the City's libraries.  Going beyond books, the areas will focus on activities to help develop pre -K skills children need before kindergarten - color groups, hand-eye coordination, numbers and more.  Since the library provides internet access for about a quarter of Chesapeake's citizens, each area will include a computer center where parents can go on-line while staying close to their kids.  This layout should encourage parents to bring their children to the library and provide important developmental activities for even more of Chesapeake's children.  We also inducted our first new member of the year, Byrant Bourne.
