Susan was a member of the Board of Trustees from 2002–2010, and served as Trustee Emeritus from 2011–2015. In addition, she was a driving force behind the library’s 2008 expansion. Susan also had a love of the written word, running the Granville Middle School Power of the Pen program for many years. The Susan Cramer Fund was established in Susan’s name as a way to memorialize her in the Granville community by sponsoring creative writing programs at the library. Further, the Susan Cramer Fund has enabled Granville Public Library to participate in a collaboration with eleven regional libraries to bring nationally known authors to central Ohio. You can find programs sponsored by the Susan Cramer Fund on pages 6 and 9 (Children), pages 13 and 14 (Teens), and page 20 (Adults). November is International Games Month
