LIBRARY NEWS OCTOBER 2019
****************************************************************
We’re delighted to welcome DAPHNE LEA HEMMER to the Library Board of Trustees! Daphne is well-known in town as a Visiting Nurse, and to the Library, not only as a patron but as the mother of two former Junior Librarians and Youth Trustees: ALEX and ROBERTA HEMMER. Support for our Library is clearly a Hemmer family tradition; thanks to all!
At the same time as we’re adding a trustee, we’re sorry to lose RILEY MILLER as our current Youth Trustee. Riley is a great reader, and has volunteered to help at the Library on Wednesday afternoons after school. THANK YOU, RILEY!
We are now looking for a new Youth Trustee: a Middle or High School student who loves to read and is interested in working with adult volunteer trustees to run a small vibrant public library. The Student Trustee should have time to attend Board meetings on the second Tuesday of every month; staff (with an adult present) during Library hours twice a month; and help the Children’s Committee with
with various activities. If you’re interested, please contact a member of the Nominating Committee: Gail Hartigan (492-3605), Trish Norton (492-3653) or
Lisa Sharrow (492-3753).
MANY THANKS to everyone who helped make the Annual Haystack Dinner & Street Dance a great success: especially DONNA, the master-mind & chef, and LISA, the set-up genius; and everyone who donated and prepped vegetables; baked great desserts; and washed and cleaned up afterwards. SPECIAL THANKS to MARCOS & THE COMMUNITY BAND for the gift of music that got us on our feet and dancing in the dark! And THANKS to everyone who supported the Library by coming out that evening!
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who worked to make Shrewsbury Day a great success! THANKS to DORIS PERRY and LISA SHARROW for the Library display; and to MARGE BENINI and ELIJAH LACHANCE for staffing our table.
