Last week, we were incredibly honored to host New York Times foreign affairs correspondent Thomas Friedman, who offered a timely and powerful discussion about global affairs in today’s rapidly changing world. Friedman is renowned for his direct reporting and accessible analysis of complex issues shaping the world. According to Foreign Policy magazine, “Friedman doesn't just report on events; he helps shape them.” At the event, Board President Ian Murray announced that the Library has received a $5 million gift from Greenwich residents Lynne and Richard Pasculano to support its Signature Series, marking the Library's largest gift in over 30 years. The Signature Series, now renamed the Lynne and Richard Pasculano Signature Series, features four annual events with world-class speakers addressing global topics. “This endowment ensures that the Greenwich Library’s Signature Series will continue to inspire and engage our community for generations to come,” said Joseph Williams, director of Greenwich Library. “We are deeply grateful to Lynne and Richard Pasculano for their generosity and vision. Their gift underscores the changing role of libraries as cultural and educational cornerstones of society, and it allows us to expand our mission of fostering thoughtful discourse and discovery and continue it for generations to come.” Read the complete announcement here: https://lnkd.in/e7unjfE4
