Plainfield Kiwanis Hosts: Beyond Google: 10 Ways Libraries Matter in a Digital Age

Kiwanis International is a global organization of members of every age who are dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time. The Plainfield Kiwanis’ will be hosting Beyond Google: 10 Ways Libraries Matter in a Digital Age, presented by Anita Quinlan, Community Relations Coordinator of the Plainfield Public Library, on Wednesday, June 1st, 6:30 pm.

“Millions of Americans simply cannot afford to replace what libraries have traditionally offered to the community for free--access to books, computers and research assistance for all ages. Ironically, the importance of these services is even greater in a time of economic uncertainty.” Quinlan says. She will also be showing attendees how to access valuable hidden subscription resources from the Plainfield Library’s website; resources that do not appear on regular search engine results.  

The Plainfield Kiwanis Club meets upstairs in the Limestone Brewing Company, 12337 S Rt. 59, Plainfield, on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm. Visitors are always welcomed. For more information about the June 1st meeting or Plainfield Kiwanis contact Chad Holstead, President, at 630-357-8385 or Chad@BKSTeam.com.
