A monthly update from the Friends of Shorewood Public Library
 The Friends' Board of Directors was delighted last month to present its Volunteer of the Year Award to FOSL Secretary Jeannée Sacken.
Jeannée has served on the board for seven years, and as secretary for the last four. A professional writer and photographer, she uses her considerable literary skill to write up the proceedings of the Friends' monthly meetings.
Jeannée's contributions go beyond her role as secretary. From June 2013 to February 2015, as chair of FOSL's Nominating Committee, she oversaw the recruitment of most of the current board members. She also served on the Shorewood Reads 2015 Steering Committee, and chaired an Ad Hoc Committee on donations to the library, resulting in the Friends establishing and funding three "legacy" collections.
But perhaps most importantly, Jeannée is a smart, thoughtful, congenial, and hardworking board member whose input often influences board decisions, and who helps the Friends do all it can to ensure that the Shorewood Library remains a vital, essential part of village life.
