Lewes Public Library to host community conversation Sept. 23

Lewes Public Library will host a community conversation moderated by Dr. Bill McGowan, University of Delaware Cooperative Extension agent, at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 26. The meeting is one of six throughout the state, as well as an interactive forum, in which Delaware libraries ask Delawareans to define their Delaware dream.

“The Delaware Dream can be anything - a safe community, medical advances, a new home for you and your family,” said Jeffrey Bullock, Delaware secretary of state. “We want to know what’s important to you - your hopes, your dreams, your vision for a better life and for an even better Delaware.”

At the Delaware Dream Interactive Forum, Delawareans are encouraged to summarize their own dreams and vote to show support for dreams submitted by others.

America Speaks, a Washington-based nonprofit that promotes sustained citizen engagement and public deliberation on community issues through online and face-to-face interaction, is moderating the interactive forum.

The statewide We Geek the Delaware Dream is a component of the national Geek the Library campaign, and showcases libraries’ ongoing role in helping Delaware become an even more vibrant and prosperous place. This will lead to future development of library services and programs on topics of greatest value to Delawareans.
