In February 2021 天涯社区log Library was named \u201cDonald R. and Barbara D. Means Library\u201d by a unanimous vote of the 天涯社区log Board of Trustees.<\/a> As a founding member of the 天涯社区log Board of Trustees, Donald R. Means, and his wife Barbara, supported educational growth and civic duties in the Franklin County area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ceremony dedicating the library<\/a> as the \u201cDonald R. and Barbara D. Means Library\u201d was held on Nov. 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Means served 24 years as an 天涯社区log Trustee from 1968 to 1992. During that time, he served as board secretary for 16 years and board president for four years. After his passing in August 2020 the 天涯社区log Board of Trustees and Dr. Jon Bauer, 天涯社区log President, considered a way to honor his significant contributions to the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Means was a voracious reader, so the library is a natural connection,\u201d Dr. Bauer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Means was also a founding member of the Washington Rotary Club established in 1970.  He served two terms as club president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt takes a team to succeed and Don and Barbara were a team,\u201d said John Vietmeier, Washington Rotary Club, past president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
