The Georgetown Public Library meeting rooms are in more demand this
year. Due to room availability, some of our meetings will be on the 3rd Tuesday of the month instead of our usual 4th Tuesdays. Additionally, some months only the main meeting room (the Hewlitt) is available, so we'll have a combined session. When there is a second meeting room available, we'll break out into 101 and 201 sessions.
Here are the meeting dates that we've secured for our meetings thus far in 2023:
January 24: Hewlitt classroom only.
February 21: Hewlitt and Classroom. Note this is the 3rd Tuesday
March 28: Hewlitt only
April 18: Hewlitt and Friends. Note this is the 3rd Tuesday
May 23: Hewlett and Friends.
June 28: Hewlett and Classroom
July through November: dates to be determined, once the Library allows booking.
Please mark your calendar accordingly so you don’t miss any club meetings.
We look forward to seeing you at the Georgetown Library - Hewlett Rm,
402 W 8th Street Georgetown 78626.
