| The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to the Chamber Coffee this Thursday, April 11th at 8am. This week’s coffee will be hosted by Fort Scott Public Library, 201 S. National Ave., in celebration of National Library Week. Coffee, juice, and light refreshments will be served.
The Fort Scott Public Library has been around since 1891 and has been at the current site since 1904 when it opened as a Carnegie library. It has changed a lot since its humble beginnings. Now, the library boasts a thriving children’s program, teen programming, and more for the youth of Fort Scott. The library has three ways to deliver eBooks and audiobooks to patrons. It also has eight computers and five hotspots for patrons to use. The new director, Jennifer Gum-Fowler, is putting together new adult programs for the community and looking for new ways to do outreach. The library is over a hundred years old but hasn’t fallen behind the times.
Chamber members and guests are invited to Chamber Coffee events each Thursday at 8 a.m. to network, make announcements, hear about happenings in the community as well as learn about the host business or organization.
Contact the Chamber of Commerce at (620) 223-3566 for more information.
