2. “...vendors are present offering ideas for making senior life easier…”
You might be seeing a familiar face more often out and about
on your delivery route. Outreach extraordinaire, Heather, has
begun working full time and, with that, comes an opportunity
to provide even more great programming for our beloved
patrons. Heather will be starting a Great Decisions program at
the Blendon Senior Center in addition to the group that meets
at the Westerville Senior Center. This program will take place
on the 3rd Friday of every month. Upcoming topics will be:
March 17: International Trade
April 21: China’s Maritime Buildup

MANGAGER’S CORNER
WHAT’S NEW?
Serve Our Seniors (S.O.S.)
Every year the Westerville Public Library has a table at the Serve Our Seniors
event, hosted by the Westerville Police Department. Many vendors are present of-
fering ideas for making senior life easier and safer as well as representatives
from the public such as the police and the library. Educational topics that
are covered range from insurance fraud, scams, identity theft protection,
personal safety, security solutions, caregiving aid and estate planning.
This is an opportunity to learn new things and to just get out of the house
on a chilly early spring day. This year, S.O.S. Day will be held on Saturday, March 25th at
Westerville South High School from 9 AM - Noon.
The event is free, there are door prizes AND a free
lunch is offered!!!
We would love to see you there. Stop by the
library booth and say, “hi.” For more information,
please call 614-901-6860.

Outreach

DID YOU KNOW?
The library offers a couple
of Great Decisions group
discussions through the
Outreach Dept. This is a
federal program based on
the “avon model” in which
schools, libraries, and
community groups can
watch, read, and
participate in active,
informal conversations
about world issues
together. Did you know
that Great Decisions
began in 1954 in Portland,
OR by the Vice President
of Foreign Policy Associa-
tion Roger Mastrude.
