World Affairs Series - Young European Leaders
Working with a collaboration of community groups and the World Affairs Council, the Roslyn Library helped to bring a group of visiting "emerging leaders" from Europe to Roslyn. They met with students at the local high school, took a tour of Roslyn's unique cemetery, and met with community and civic leaders. The Friends of the Roslyn Library sponsored a community reception for them at the Roslyn Brewery where the community at large was able to meet the Europeans, all of whom were sent to the United States by their various organizations to build their leadership skills. Alumni of the program include Nicholas Sarkozy and Vladmir Putin.
