September project commemorates 9/11 on September 9 at the

San Juan Island Library
 

            Join a conversation about democracy, citizenship and patriotism at your free public library on Thursday September 9 to remember 9/11.  A brief panel discussion of community leaders will be followed by the opportunity to voice your thoughts. Join with thousands of people around the world by participating in a discussion of what the buzz words really mean.
 

            The League of Women Voters and the San Juan Island Library are jointly sponsoring this event which will take place in the library.  Come at 7 PM prepared to be challenged, to listen, to think, and, if you like, to speak.
 

            "Free access to information is a cornerstone of a democratic society, and the public library plays a vital role in ensuring access for all," said Lauren Stara, Library Director.  "We are happy to work together with the League of Women Voters in this nationwide and international day of participation and engagement."
 

            The Library's collection includes both fiction and non-fiction books for very young children, for grade-school aged children and for adults. In addition to its collections of books, audio books, DVDs, videos and magazines to loan, the library also provides computers for public use.
 

Library hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from 1 PM to 5 PM.  Library cards are free to island residents with proof of residency.
