On Saturday, May 11th, the Bonnechere Union Public Library Board, the Fundraising Committee, and the Friends of the Library hosted our annual fundraising dinner at the Eagle’s Nest in Eganville. The night was a success! Not only were the decorations, food, silent auction, and photo booth a hit, we were lucky enough to hear one of BUPL’s younger patrons recite a speech. An incredible speech written about why libraries matter; now more than ever!
If you have 5 minutes, I urge you to click HERE and prepare to be amazed and awed at the passion and honesty that is portrayed by this 11 year old girl, Jenna Schison.
Feel free to share, post, forward, and like the video! Help us make this go viral!!
With kindness,
BUPL Staff
So articulate! An incredible and inspiring speech that says [in the most positive and heart-warming way] all that public libraries historically have done for, and what they will continue to contribute to, their many supporters. if i were the parents of that child, i would be bursting with pride following her dissertation!
