JOIN OUR TEAM – reader leaders who serve our communities in Portage County.
Groups come in many sizes and styles. As groups grow core members may stay in touch by zoom or in person, perhaps weekly, to plan regular meetings, publicize events and network with similar groups. A program and publicity for a monthly meeting may be upscaled for the public occasionally, perhaps quarterly. Mature groups will create innovative ways to serve the larger community. For example, become familiar with public and private collections of resources, and provide stewardship to improve access and their use.
This calendar is a place to announce group activities, and to invite others to a new Living Library.
EXISTING GROUPS are invited to list a website and their next event open to the public (date, time, place, contact for more information). Your submission will be added here and in the calendar above.
