IN MEMORY OF LYNN SAVITZKY
Our community library and media center is named for our esteemed resident, Lynn Savitzky. As a former librarian with extensive knowledge of acquisitions and cataloging, she stepped up to create a functioning library so that our residents could continue to read and learn without leaving the grounds. Materials can be found in our main library room as well as three other satellite locations in The Arbor.
Under her vision, our library has grown into a collection of thousands of materials, including fiction and non-fiction books, periodicals, music discs, and movies. Thanks to Lynn, our residents have a reading resource open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
