Biblioteca Italiana water damages update November 4th

The Biblioteca Italiana Seattle (BIS), housed at Casa Italiana, suffered significant water damage on 29 June 2022.  We estimate approximately 400 books were damaged beyond repair and had to be discarded.  The remaining books have been dried and packed into boxes.  The library room is being repaired and we expect to begin moving the books back in December.

Strategic Plan

We had decent responses from questionnaires sent to members and interviews conducted with external key individuals.  We plan on integrating this information into a Strategic Plan that will be available to help the new Board of Directors by January 2023. 

Board of Directions volunteers needed

We need volunteers for the Board of Directors who are able to start in January 2023.  The positions open include the President.  Those members interested should contact board@ilpuntoseattle.org.
