Library advocate Debbie Smart will be joining us to speak on the state of book banning. Debbie has served as a member of the Library Board of Trustees of the Arlington Heights Memorial Library since 2011. Having served as board president and treasurer, she led a strategic planning process and search for a new executive director, inspired the planning of a new makerspace featuring STEAM programs and entrepreneurial development, and was instrumental in identifying opportunities for revenue sources to supplement property tax support with a library foundation.
Debbie is a constant and vocal supporter of her library, and every library, as the place that brings the community together. She is a volunteer with numerous community organizations, and in 2014, received an award from her municipality for her volunteer service making a difference in the lives of others
