Recently the Monticello Rotary welcomed Douglas Shindler and Michael Davis, Co-Founders of The Black Library, to speak at our weekly meeting. Located at 418 Broadway in Monticello, The Black Library is a library and community art space focused on celebrating Black History and Culture. The Monticello Rotary Club was moved by the wonderful work they do to engage the community, especially our youth. Monticello Rotary Giving Funds Treasurer Les Kristt presented The Black Library a check on behalf of the club for $250 for its continued great work of Service Above Self.
The Black Library provides a safe space for all to learn and create. There are so many programs being offered. There is an extensive Artist-In-Residence program, music, dance and lecture programs to highlight a few.
Monticello Rotary looks forward to the continued growth and prosperity of The Black Library and all of the great work being of Douglas (DJ) and Michael in making it all happen.
