Citrus County's Special Library District Advisory Board held a productive meeting on December 2, 2024, focusing on upcoming events and library displays that aim to engage the community. A highlight of the meeting was the announcement of the "Booked" fundraiser, scheduled for February 22, 2025, at the Lakes Region Library. This year's theme, "The Next Chapter," promises to bring excitement and support for library initiatives, with further details to be shared via email as the event approaches.

The board also reviewed upcoming book displays for January through March. Notably, the Coastal Library will not feature displays during renovations, as older shelving is being removed to make way for new installations. Despite this setback, the library plans to showcase winter-themed displays in January, followed by special exhibits for Black History Month in February and spring gardening topics in March, alongside Women's History Month.

Board members expressed enthusiasm for the community's involvement in the fundraiser and encouraged attendance. The next meeting is set for February 25, 2025, at 9 AM, where further updates on library activities and initiatives will be discussed. The board's commitment to enhancing library services and community engagement remains strong as they look forward to a vibrant start to the new year.
