The June 8 meeting of the Rotary Club of Austintown was held at the beautiful Austintown branch of the Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, in the Tom and Maria Fok meeting room. Dr. Tom Fok is a long term member of the Rotary Club of Austintown, having over 35 years of perfect attendance. Guest speaker was Carlton Sears, executive director of the Library system, who presented a power point show about the system. Founded 130 years ago with less than 800 books, the system has grown to its present main branch on Wick Avenue and 15 community branches. Sears noted that over 1 million persons walked through the library system doors last year, and though population is declining, usage of the Main Library and its branches is increasing each year. A major growth in use has happened since December 2008 to the present, with more folks using job search and self improvement sources. He also noted that the Library was only books and magazines in the past, but now has over 1 million newspaper, magazine, book, DVD, computer files available. Funding has been cut the past year due to less state income tax being collected, so the library system must adjust its hours and collections to end the year debt free. We can be proud of the excellent system we have, with links to over 10 million books and files through Search Ohio.
