Governor: “Libraries key to lifelong learning” As part of continuing efforts to enhance libraries in Kansas, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has appointed CarmaLee Beebe to the Southwest Kansas Regional Library System. “Education isn’t something that should stop at graduation, and libraries are key to lifelong learning,” said Sebelius. “Every Kansan should have the opportunity to visit a local library, whether for research or recreation.” The Southwest Kansas Regional Library System consults and advises the state librarian and Governor regarding policies, management and services that will best promote and advance the use and usefulness of the state library and its extension services. “It’s great to have someone like CarmaLee, who is willing to volunteer her time to help encourage others through reading and education,” said Sebelius. Beebe, Minneola, has helped with children’s story time at the Minneola Public Library and also worked with the Civic Club to bring the library to the community. She will serve a four-year term.# # # |
