The FSSK Library Committee is comprised of five resident members who volunteer to work in harmony with the FSSK Management Liaison and maintain the books and puzzles in the library.
The committee also highlights books in the “Library Corner” and apprises the residents of upcoming library sponsored events.
Due to space limitations, we weed out books published prior to 2013 The books are donated to both the Friends of the Jackson Library and the Association of University Women (AAUW) Book Sale to benefit students with scholarships and educational activities. We also except CDs & DVDs for the Jackson Library. (No VHS tapes.)
The Committee appreciates the positive feedback we have received from the residents. Thank you to the FSSK Men’s Club for providing the webpage for the library. “Happy reading!” – The Library Committee
