Over the past couple of years, 3-dimensional (3D) printing has taken the world by storm. 3D printing is an additive technology in which objects are built up in layers in a process that may take several hours. While 3D printing is not a new technology, it is only in recent years that 3D printer models have been made available for general public use. Now any designer, from amateur to professional, can take designs they have created or downloaded from the Internet and create a 3-dimensional object.

As part of our mission to provide materials, programs and services that enrich the lives of residents of all ages, the Library has purchased a MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printer with grant funding. The MakerBot uses a corn-based plastic filament to build 3D renderings of 2-dimensional designs. Residents of all ages will have the opportunity to learn more about the types of objects the MakerBot Replicator 2 is capable of printing.

Thank You for Your Service

As President of the Friends of the Library, I would like to acknowledge the following FOL members for their efforts over the last few years in support of the Friends as they transition from their posts.

Thank you to Jerry Hill, who is stepping down as VP and Outreach Director for the FOL. Jerry has advertised our events, and identified opportunities for the Friends to participate locally. He also chaired many FOL meetings as VP and we appreciate his efforts.

I also want to thank Karen Moul, our outgoing Membership Director. Karen transferred member information to our current database, keeping the list up to date. She also sent email notices to members alerting them to upcoming FOL events.

We thank Rita Olinski who also supported membership efforts by contacting new members to welcome them to the Friends.

We appreciate all of their hard work in the past. The good news is that they will continue to support the Friends moving forward as regular members, so we will continue to have their support for key FOL events moving forward. We appreciate all you have done in support of the Friends of the Library, and your dedication to our group. Thanks!
