Program areas at The Rowfant Club

The Rowfant Club consists of 154 members located around The country. Members were slow to return to in-person events during The first half of 2022, zoom broadcasts were a popular way to stay engaged and continue to learn with other members of The Club. The ability to offer virtual programming enabled members outside of cleveland to participate on a regular basis. A concerted effort was made during The summer of 2022 to encourage members to return to events at The Club in The fall, and in- person attendance increased significantly during The second half of The year.
Board members continued to allocate funds to purchase new books for The library and also continue with a hired cataloger to document The unique listing of books found in The Club's library. The library is a demonstration of The Club's longstanding commitment to acquiring and preserving historical books for its membership. The Club's book collection also went live during 2022 on world cat- The world's largest library catalog, helping scholars and users worldwide to find our holdings online.
