A big thank you for library service
The Sugar Grove Library Friends wanted to inform residents of the Sugar Grove Library District that library board members Ken Wiesner and Erin Erickson have stepped down from their trustee positions.
Ken and Erin have been outstanding Library Friends, incredible trustees and just the kind of young people who you know will have an extraordinary future together. They were both seriously committed to being library trustees and dedicated to the provision of library services in our community.
They attended regularly scheduled board meetings and the many special meetings specifically held for the new library. They showed a willingness to become familiar with Illinois library law, standards for libraries and the principles and practices for ensuring that the library provides broad and equitable access to the knowledge, information, and diversity of ideas needed by community residents.
What should be most admired about them both is that they were committed to the idea of freedom of expression and inquiry for all people.
Without their knowledge, drive and backbone the library would never have been able to secure the wonderful piece of property it now has at 125 Municipal Drive in Sugar Grove. Because of their very, very hard work, our new library is moving forward. We can never thank them enough for their time, effort and most of all for their caring for our Sugar Grove Public Library.
