RML Says Goodbye to Departing Board Members
The Radnor Memorial Library Board of Trustees bid farewell to three members whose terms were up this past May: Philip Cahill, Debbie Rubin and Steve Chanenson. All three served the Library during a demanding time for the Library and Board, and their knowledgeable and financial contributions were integral to the successes of various Library and Board efforts. In particular, Phil gave sound guidance during the Building Project design, bid and construction; Deb provided advice and support to the Be Part of the Story Capital Campaign, and Steve loaned his enthusiasm and photography skills to the Elves for the Shelves Race fundraiser. Thank you, Phil, Deb and Steve for your outstanding service!

Have you Sparked Discovery yet?
The Radnor Memorial Library launched the Spark Discovery: Buy a Bookcase fundraising program in early March in support of their one million dollar Be Part of the Story Capital Campaign to Build a Better Radnor Library. To date, over 50 bookcases have been "sold" as part of the program. Make sure to get yours before space runs out!
Spark Discovery plaques are a wonderful end of the year gift for teachers from a classroom, a meaningful celebration of a special life event like a bar mitzvah or anniversary, and give high visibility to local businesses and organizations.
