FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
At this meeting, as we do every May, we will hold the election for the Board of Directors for the 2018-2019 year. A slate of officers has been put together, but as always and in accordance with our by-laws, nominations will be taken from the floor. The meeting is free and open to the public, but only paid-up members may stand for office, nominate, or vote.
Ellen Book began her career with the Miami-Dade Public Library System in 1987 after graduating with her newly-minted FSU Masters Degree. Starting at the Main Library, she was promoted into Branch Management at a wide range of locations including South Miami,Miami Lakes, Coconut Grove, Palmetto Bay, and Country Walk, and now, Pinecrest.
Along the way, her volunteer efforts were noticed. Members of the Dade County Library Association elected her President from 2008-2010 and the Rotarians of the South Miami Rotary Club elected her as their President from 2005-2006,after which she ascended to the post of Asst. District Governor from 2007-2008. One of her favorite literacy projects was coordinating numerous county-wide dictionary giveaways from 2007-2015,in which 27,000 dictionaries were hand delivered at student assemblies.
For her many hours of community service, the City of South Miami proclaimed May 2, 2006 "Ellen Book Day" and the League of Women Voters presented her with the 2014 Community Activist of the Year Award. With thirty years of library service under her belt, Ellen is aiming for another decade at the Pinecrest Branch, where her goal is to make the branch incrementally better each and every day.
The South Florida Writers Association is pleased to welcome the person responsible for our ability to
unite here each first Saturday, Librarian Ellen Book, who will speak to us on an often-neglected topic:
"How a writer helps the reader work through issues."
Let's give a warm welcome to Ellen Book.
