Kathryn Lynip
Club Meeting Thursday, August 8, 2024
Our speaker was Kathryn Lynip, the director of the Broomfield Library. Kathryn provided an overview of the many offerings, programs, and services available at the library. Whether you’re interested in joining a book club, participating in crafting sessions, or enjoying film screenings, the library has something for everyone. Additionally, the library offers access to public computers, study rooms, and an extensive collection of materials, including adult fiction, non-fiction, large print books, graphic novels, magazines, and audiobooks.
One of the more interesting programs at the Broomfield Library is the InventHQ Makerspace. This innovative area allows community members to engage in hands-on learning. Located above the FISH building, InventHQ is designed to be a hub for invention, learning, play, and community building. It offers a variety of programs and resources for all ages and interests. At InventHQ, you can learn to use a laser cutter, 3D printers, digital embroidery machines, sewing machines, and electronic cutters.
The library is equally committed to serving its younger visitors. The Children’s Library and Teen Zone are vibrant spaces designed to inspire and educate. These areas host a variety of engaging programs, including story times, summer reading initiatives, and educational workshops. Kathryn and her staff are also our partners in operating our Imagination Library sponsorship. They play a critical role in tracking all student registrations and graduations, and they help spread the word about the program to families during events and other activities at the library. Without Kathryn and her team, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for the Broomfield Rotary to keep this program running.
Many thanks to Kathryn and the Broomfield Library staff for their fantastic work and dedication to the entire Broomfield community.
