MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Do you love your local library? Can you imagine a world without books? It used to exist; will it exist again in the aftermath of our technological age?

The Middletown Luncheon Club will meet from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 18, at the Middletown Senior Center, 21256 Washington St.

The club's speaker this month is Christopher Veach, director of Library Services of Lake County.

He will give a short and interesting history of libraries from the ancient world to the free public library in the United States.

Veach will share the local history of libraries here in Lake County and explain why they are still relevant today.

After lunch, everyone can make a trip down the hall to the Middletown Library and check out a book.

Lunch will be served this month by the United Methodist Women.

For only $5 per person, enjoy a delicious lunch of lasagna, zucchini and spinach salad with strawberries.
